I find it stunning how many people believe the Oscars are nominated on pure merit


as though there is a perfect criterion to meet to win the Oscars, instead of a very arbitrary and subjective set of criterion. So many people seem to be making the argument that there are no AA's nominated on the pure basis of merit.

Is it more likely that not a single black actor was talented this year, or more likely that they got overlooked because those who nominate them don't recognize black actors as talented unless they play some very specific roles?

I think the answer to that question reveals something important about oneself, and less about the actual value/talent of people of color.

random thoughts on #OscarSoWhite

This is precisely what the Leadership in Hollywood thinks of black women - and what they then export around the world.

ETA - be careful if you say this and mention anyone who HAPPENS to be Jewish at the same time. You will get accused of being an anti semite because you are for YOU first - and not some billionaire head of a production company white guy - who HAPPENS to be Jewish.

3. I'm glad i stopped watching these shows long time ago

Although chris rock was the only reason i had interest this time. And this was even before the nominees were announced.

There are also wayy too many of these award shows

4. I'm watching because of Chris Rock

Can we be honest? Anyone whose seen his routine where he talks about Hollywood/Entertainment (several years ago) knows we are going to hear -

Once again I am the ONLY BLACK PERSON HERE!

The quality and extent of discomfort in the audience is going to be pure comedic gold!

Good point. Aside from shitloads of cocaine and the occasional loose nipple, the Oscars look like the Democrat debates.

Most of the people at the Oscars are more sober than most of the people at a Dem debate.

Somebody should offer Larry David $5,000 to yell "You're a racist!" at Chris Rock during the Oscar broadcast. Just for the sake of equality.

     If you were Chris Rock, would you boycott the Oscars? Not only is he getting a fat paycheck, but the line backstage of White Guilters waiting to fellate him is going to be absolutely legendary.

     Paraphrasing Tracy Jordan: Rock's going to get so much nice nice from starlets that night, he's going to need to grow another ding-a-ling.

What political leanings do those people have? Hint, it is not to the right...

Perhaps the academy should start giving out participation trophies too everyone who was cast in any role during the previous year.  That should alleviate any butt hurt from any victim's group since everyone would be a winner.

The coke is on the Dem side. Fortunately for all of us, the nipples are not.

The Oscars kerfuffle is a tempest in the Progs' teapot, "blue-on-blue". So it's :popcorn: time as far as I'm concerned.

Re your comment, th4, I'm surprised that shoe still hasn't dropped over in ProgLand. It is entirely possible that the fall Pres. and VP debates could have two "whites" on the D side, and two "POCs" on the R side. :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: TIME!

It's almost a certainty that the Dem nominee will pick an Hispanic VP. OTOH, that can surely be used against them as once again ignoring blacks.  :rofl:

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms.
