Hebrews are fully retarded racists, they dont want equality, but that they have privilege because of their skin color.
I think that NBA isnt diverse enough - USA has 70% white people, but in NBA only like 10% of players are white. Why no one isnt talking about that? Same with NFL...

What is this? Curse of the Black Mummies?

Let them boycott all they want
-
I don't blame them, lol...
Must be secretly run by the KKK.
-
They probably want Affirmative Action so that some token black person can be included even it is not based on merit.

Academy promises more diversity - that means that there will be more black judges so they would vote for black actors. Trololo, that means black judges will have to vote for black actors just because of their skin color...
Real equality. ::)
-

They could have a bucket of tar up on stage standing next to the presenters. Then there would always be something black up there.
If they want to be nominated they'd just have to make better movies is all.

Has there been any notable black performance's lately? There's alot of films in yet to see..
-
Segregate the Oscars!
-
Segregate the Oscars!
Do you mean like BET Awards?
-
ban movies
-
This will just backfire because next time a black person is nominated people will think they are just Affirmative Action nominees and don't deserve to be there.
They will be like the 'special' kids on the stage.
-
lol black people really shoot themselves in the foot. No wonder race relations are at the worst in years, why can't we send them back to africa?

Whining fucks they are... Who cares...

Will Smith is/always has been garbage
His son is a failure
His wife has degraded
Willy should have stuck to selling rap to white people

Spike Lee is a big NY Knicks fan. The Knicks are the official team of Getbig

I don't agree with that. I wouldn't say he's a garbage actor. It seems like that's a far cry from the truth. I am not saying he is the BEST actor--the best actor, in my opinion, is Daniel Day Lewis. Nonetheless, he has performed solid roles.
-
Academy promises more diversity, why does every entity buckle to this bullshit? Fear of being called a racist?

Like hunting zombies with his dog? ::) ;D

I'd boycott the Oscars too. Mainly because it's just a load of self indulgent bullshit.

Every actor/actress does shitty movies.
He was good in a few of his movies. Again, hes no Daniel Day Lewis, Al Pacinco or Denzel Washington.

So now we're gonna pretend that the Oscars are based on merit and not Hollywood's most drawn out self-congratulatory circle jerk?

Interesting point.
Are any white folks boycotting the Superbowl because of their underrepresention?

That wasn't even a shitty movie.

To get to the Superbowl, teams have to win non-subjective contests. Oscar contenders are chosen by a small pool of voters who cast a secret ballot. How are these two things comparable?
-
That wasn't even a shitty movie.
Never seen it, but I was speaking in general terms. Every actor/actress has done at least ONE shitty movie.

Let them boycott all they want
This.
Would like to see the demographics of who actually watches the Oscars. Would also like to see if there is a change in ratings with their boycott.

Right. But aren't the Oscars just their own bullshit anyway? I mean, if they don't show up, who does it hurt?
Does it hurt the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences if they don't?
I'm just wondering. What would the boycott accomplish.
It is still their right to boycott and I support anyone doing what they feel they have to do. I do believe they are valid in their general premise, but here's the other bit.
Let's say they nominate a couple of black people. Do you believe then that they would be "token" nominations? Do you feel that there was a black person or team or group that should have had a nomination over some of the other people who have been nominated?
It seems to me that a token nomination would be even worse.r
-

I don't think Ive ever watched the Oscars or any award performance show. Sounds like a waste of time to me. I enjoy watching movies. But I don't care if someone wins an award for them. Obviously, its a big thing for the actors/actresses.

Makes you wonder how the blacks/minorities interviewed for an NFL head coaching job feel due to Rooney Rule being enforced.

All these award shows are a work anyway so who cares. Just give all the awards to the darkies if they want them.

Make better movies, FFS!

Like all of the white nominations are somehow more legit? Like every year, you don't have a bunch of people saying "So and so didn't deserve the nomination" or "so and so got robbed." Like Jennifer Lawrence was really so amazing in "Silver Linings Playbook" that it's easy to understand why she won for a forgettable role in a forgettable film? Like the reason there are no black nominees is because there weren't any good performances from black actors?
-
And I'm not here to pile onto my Hebrew brethren but it seems like the only roles I see them getting shine for is playing a slave, drug dealer or putting on a wig and playing the role of your stereotypical Big Mama.

Same here. I like movies but just view the Oscars as ego massaging crap. The most discussed thing the following day is which actress wore the best dress - which goes to prove how little the actual awards are valued.
-
They've had a good run at the Oscars - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_black_Academy_Award_winners_and_nominees . This year just wasn't their year, they shouldn't cry about it.

I'm not saying there were not good performances, but were they actually better? I am certainly not one to make that determination. Never have been.
I think the Academy Awards are bullshit anyway for a couple of reasons:
1. When they had the damn awards, they shut down Hollywood Blvd. and even try to block off streets all around. It's bullshit when you're trying to get to your apartment that just happens to be on the block over and the cops are being pains in the ass to let you get in.
2. It comes across as a circle jerk.
Now, do I know anything about it for sure, no, but that's my point... I can't say that one actor is better than another or a director, or whatever... Mostly because I guess I don't see it as that difficult. I did that kind of shit when I was younger and I did alright and never really saw it as that tough.
So if someone is to say that some people are better than others, I am not in any position to say otherwise.
Do you think the Academy is in fact, racist?
Just my personal opinion.
-

Probably not a popular opinion but, trying to create parity in the industry has lowered standards and made it seem that an award is owed.

You have a right to not take the Osars seriously. I don't, either, believe it or not. Never even watched them. But if you were an actor or a creative in the film industry, would you have a different opinion of them? What I mostly take issue with is you and some other posters seem to be making the argument that the Oscars in their current state are legit and completely merit-based.

Hell! Even the OSCAR losers are winners!
Marketing firm Distinctive Assets is handing out $125,000 gift bags to the losing nominees in the Best Actor/Actress, Supporting Actor/Actress, and Director categories.
Here are some of those 'gifts"......
Sex Enhancement Procedures, Plus a Vibrator! $5,250. Celebs will have the choice between the O-Shot (Orgasm Shot), LEO or Priapus Shot procedures. The shots (valued at $5,000) are said to enhance sexual response and will be provided directly by its inventor Charles Runels, MD, who also created the Vampire Facelift.
The losers can also test out the Afterglow Pulsewave Vibrator ($250), which boasts of "patented medical technology" developed directly by the sex experts.
A Glamping Adventure, $12,500 …. A luxury camping, hiking, and cycling package from TerraVelo Tours offered in one of America's "most breathtaking natural landscapes." The package includes options like hot air balloon rides, gourmet dining, surfing, horseback riding, and cheese-making classes. Stars will have private chefs prepare all meals, along with access to "fine Napa Valley wines."
A Year's Worth of Audi Rentals, $20,000….. Each car includes a "free in-dash GPS, Sirius radio, and Wi-Fi every time."
Custom-Designed Furniture, $25,000
.
Mind Control and More, $20,000…. Each star gets a $20,000 gift certificate to have Enigma Life founder Alessia Kantor fly out and meet with them to discuss their 2015 horoscopes, as well as their dreams. Most of all, Kantor will teach the stars "mind control techniques" — and maybe their odds of winning in 2016 will be thatmuch greater.
A Train Trek through the Rocky Mountains, $14,600.... The Complete Lifestyle Makeover, $14,200 … The wellness package includes: a hair mineral analysis ($1,590), a VIP day which includes customized info ($3,500), organic home cooking event with a master chef ($1000), and more.
Custom Dessert/Candy Buffet, Plus More Goodies $1,295. Celebs will also nosh on Posh Pretzels ($50), Rouge Maple products ($280), XO mints ($10), gluten-free cookies from Esther Easter's Treats ($45), herbal tea lollipops from Dosha Pops ($70), and Hydroxycut ($45).
Sea Salts, Plus a VIP Tour $1,550 …. La Baleine is offering its natural French Mediterranean salts from its "pure and natural" source in the South of France. Recipients will also get a VIP tour of the private preserve where the salts are made. The group (of up to 10 people) will also enjoy a private lunch prepared by a top chef atop the salt marsh, and will have the chance to sunbathe on La Baleine's private beach.
Light Therapy for Fat $4,100 includes a "non-invasive L.E.D. light technology" procedure from Ventura that claims to help stars lose 3-9 inches around their waists in as little as 3 weeks.
And moe shit you've never heard of.
I'll take the AUDI and the TRAIN RID
BTW ... I once held an OSCAR for about 15 minutes in an effort to keep it from being used as a murder weapon.
True story!

So if the blacks don't get a free handout that's not deserved then you're racist. Which black actor or movie was worthy? there were hundreds of white movies that also didn't get picked. So what. Maybe if blacks created a movie other than Rap themed, Mandela or MLK they might get picked.
-
They just can't accept that their movies are not as good for the audience.
If they made a movie that was really liked by everyone , not only would they get nominated but they'd also get awarded with a statue.
-
These are all libs. Let em eat each other

What I mostly take issue with is you and some other posters seem to be making the argument that the Oscars in their current state are legit and completely merit-based.
Where did I say they were legit.
I simply and very accurately stated I was not in a position to judge the people being chosen.
Are you saying they are completely false and the people nominated were unworthy?
Are you saying you are 100 percent certain that there were black actors / directors /artists of whatever sort, that were overlooked and without a doubt should have been included?
Spike Lee just accepted an award from them last year that was an honorary award. Will he be giving it back?
Would you also mind answering the question as to whether you believe the Academy is in fact, racist?
-

::) Half the shit that gets nominated is stuff that no one has ever heard of.

Indeed, things like "12 years a slave" , "What happened, Miss Simone?" and shit like that.
-

You asked if blacks were nominated, would the nominations be
token nominations.You appeared to answer the question yourself
in the affirmative and then went on to say that a token
nomination would be worse. Maybe I'm misinterpreting you, but
that seems to imply a legitimacy to the other nominations that
you don't consider "tokenism".
Are you saying they are completely false and the people
nominated were unworthy?
I am saying that it is a subjective award and each and every
year there are people/projects nominated that aren't the best
of the year. No, they are not completely false-there is
undeniably great work that gets nominated- but there is also a
lot of mediocre work that gets nominated. So, yes, some
people/projects nominated are unworthy.
Are you saying you are 100 percent certain that there were
black actors / directors /artists of whatever sort, that were
overlooked and without a doubt should have been included?
Once again, it's a subjective award. How would it be possible
to be "100 percent certain" that someone deserves to be
nominated for a subjective acting award? Are you asking if
there were any performers of color that I 100% think deserve
to be nominated? I don't think there is a realistic way to
answer the question as asked.
Spike Lee just accepted an award from them last year that was
an honorary award. Will he be giving it back?
I am not Spike Lee. I don't think I ever said or implied that
I was. How would I be privy to that information?
Why do you think I'm Spike Lee.
Would you also mind answering the question as to whether you
believe the Academy is in fact, racist?
It depends on how you define "racist" I guess. If you go by
"racially exclusionary", then yes. 95% of the
Academy voters are white. I think that has an impact on which
films are nominated.
-
Indeed, things like "12 years a slave" , "What happened, Miss Simone?" and shit like that.
Was thinking more along the lines of box-office powerhouses like "Brooklyn", "Carol", "Trumbo", "The Danish Girl".
-
Has there been any notable black performance's lately? There's alot of films in yet to see..
Exactly my point ...One thing is to complain about certain black actor/actress that was ignored in nomination rather than just going "hey where's my Oscars black quota this year?
WoooSHHHHHHHHHH
-
I asked questions inquiring as to your belief.
I didn't say you were Spike Lee, it was an inferred rhetoric question.
Ok, then they are racist. Take it up with the Academy and tell the black actors and directors to stop taking jobs they are offered. Give up their SAG cards. Be sure to mention that Sydney Potrtier should return his Oscar from 1963.

Although the awards are subjective, they are not entirely subjective. The same with music. Musicians can and have measured the complexity of music. Most talented musicians would agree that a Mozart symphony is much more complicated than Brittany Spears song. There may be some who may think a Brittany song is more much more complicated than a Mozart Symphony, but I guarantee you that it would be EXTREMELY rare. As such, experts can definitely measure the complexity and sophistication of a movie and/or acting part. In that sense, its NOT ENTIRELY subjective, as you may think. I mean, whats a more sophisticated movie/acting, "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" or "The Godfather?" The general consensus would be the latter.
Obviously, subjectivity creeps in even more when two movies are equally or close to equally good. I totally get that. However, I don't think its entirely subjective.
-

I mean, if you're going to boycott, boycott all the way right?

This is sort of like saying a bodybuilding show isn't subjective, because a guy who had a high bodyfat percentage and didn't train could never be Mr. Olympia. Of course there are certain standards/guidelines for what is considered skillful filmmaking, But subjectivity more than "creeps in" when judging art .

Every team has people who choose players, a small pool of people. Lack of diversity and racism against white people, they should boycott NFL and NBA games.
-
I mean, if you're going to boycott, boycott all the way right?
So, rather than trying to affect a change within a system that you consider flawed, you think the better option is to abandon it, stop working and give up your creative outlet? This makes no sense. Was it another inferred rhetoric question?
-

That's what they are doing already. Their "boycott" will see to that.

So, let me get this straight- my interpretation of your previous post was that if there are blacks who see problems with the Academy awards, then blacks ( as a group) should leave the industry and return accolades going back 50 years. My interpretation of this was that you were saying "If the system is so racist, then why don't you just leave". Did I misinterpret you?

She makes a good point.

Yes. Yes she does.
I do agree with her also on Idris Elba. He man is very talented.
Looking back, Fresh Prince was a modern day Good Times. Will Smith was the Jimmy Walker/JJ Evans.
And Jimmy Walker's buffoonery was criticized by John Amos.

So, he was kicked off.
Fast fwd to Fresh Prince, and something similar

Off the top of my head I thought of 2 good heeb actors. Morgan Freeman and Jamie Foxx.
Both have received Oscars. Because they can act. What's the problem?
-
Denzel L Freeman definitely deserve all the Oscars and Nominations he had.
Great actor.
-
Ridiculous. If the best ''actor'' ''actress'' etc isnt black then why would they be on the list? Its about subjective performance.
To troll they should have christian bale play a hebrew in a serious role and hand him the oscar.

Are sympathy nominations really going to make anyone feel better...?

Interpret however you like.
My statement is that if they feel that boycotts are the answer, then boycott the entire system since the system is problem.

Is anyone here a movie buff?
I don't like racism any more than the next person, but I am curious if there are actually actors that are clearly being snubbed because of race?
It's like the NBA thing, I don't really care if a team is all black or all purple because I figure they earned it and the best person won the job.

Obviously that is not the case.

Why are black only awards ok... black only groups... these are all fine. They should all be wrong.
Either you are inclusive or exclusive. That's just the fact of the matter.

Biting the hand that feeds you. Will Smith and his wife are only known because of this "racist" industry. She's probably be stripping if Hollywood was so racist that it didn't allow blacks in. The industry that made them millions and now they plan to boycott? Really? I hope the rich Jew producers cut these fuckers off at the knees and never give them a single role again. Especially Will Smiths homo son

Kirk Lazarus got nominated for an Oscar for Best supporting Actor in Tropic Thunder.
Why can't they be satisfied with that? :D ;D

He should have one that year.
For a long time, I thought it was simply because that asshat overdosed. After some careless reflection: They were afraid to let someone win wearing blackface.

It's like the NBA thing, I don't really care if a team is all black or all purple because I figure they earned it and the best person won the job.
Bullshit, there are many Euroleague white players who could replace many NBA players. ;)

Ridiculous. If the best ''actor'' ''actress'' etc isnt black then why would they be on the list? Its about subjective performance.
To troll they should have christian bale play a hebrew in a serious role and hand him the oscar.
Well, he did play Moses? So he played a hebrew.

Interpret however you like.
My statement is that if they feel that boycotts are the answer, then boycott the entire system since the system is problem.
Just trying to get clarification on this because the post following that one muddled it.
This is like saying "If triceps extensions hurt your elbows, then you shouldn't exercise at all because physical activity is the problem. " You do understand having a problem with Academy Award =/= having a problem with being employed in the entertainment industry, right? This is a classic case of reductio ad absurdum. It doesn't logically follow that boycotting the Academy Awards should lead you to do those other things. There is a difference between a system BEING the problem and a system HAVING problems.

Every team has people who choose players, a small pool of people. Lack of diversity and racism against white people, they should boycott NFL and NBA games.
What part of "non- subjective contests" did you have a problem with? I noticed you left it out, but it's an important part of that statement. By the time NBA and NFL players get to the point of being chosen byh a small pool of people, they have years of hard numbers backing up the fact that they are some of the best in the world.

Majority of white players play in Europe and they have a dream to play in NBA. You cant compare these stats, a great example is Kristaps Porzingis, he hadnt the best stats in Spanish league, but hes on of the best rookies in NBA. Often we hear that players from Europe are bad, just because they are white, lets be real.
And what makes you think that white actors cant be better just like black basketball players?

I never said that white actors can't be better. What I did say is that just because an actor is nominated does not mean that they are the best. You said that because an actor was nominated, you were confident that it meant they were the best. Acting talent is subjective. Basketball and football skills aren't.
I'm not saying there aren't good white players or good players in European leagues, either. But there are more white people in America than black. Thee's no institutional or statistical barrier for white's to dominate those two sports.

I think you misunderstand the argument. It's not that every black actor deserves an Oscar. It's that for the second year in a row, no person of color has been nominated in a major awards category. Even in a prolifically nominated year, the nominations are pretty sparse.
-
Basketball and football skills aren't.
Yes they are. If NBA would want diversity then they would replace many NBA players with Euroleague players. Easy as that.

Non-subjective my ass. Jews have been propping up blacks for decades now in the NFL.
I'd love to see the best all white players against the best all black NFL players. And not just the white players "chosen" by the Jews. Whites will slaughter them.

Wikipedia will tell you that the book "A Racial Program for the 20th Century" (1912) is another anti-Semitic hoax. It says the book and author Israel Cohen didn't exist.
The reason for this lie? This book contains a famous passage that reveals the Illuminati-Communist race strategy, later applied to women and other minorities in the guise of "feminism" and "diversity":
"We must realize that our party's most powerful weapon is racial tensions. By propounding into the consciousness of the dark races that for centuries they have been oppressed by whites, we can mold them to the program of the Communist Party. In America we will aim for subtle victory. While inflaming the Negro minority against the whites, we will endeavour to instil in the whites a guilt complex for their exploitation of the Negroes. We will aid the Negroes to rise in prominence in every walk of life, in the professions and in the world of sports and entertainment. With this prestige, the Negro will be able to intermarry with the whites and begin a process which will deliver America to our cause."
Rep. Thomas Abernathy read this passage into the Congressional Record on June 7, 1957 (Vol. 103, p. 8559, top of page.) Wikipedia tells you Abernathy read the quotation in a letter to the Editor of the Washington Star, and the newspaper subsequently determined it was a hoax and apologized. "The quotation has retained some popularity among racists and anti-Semites to this day," Wikipedia chortles.
I have subsequently added this line to the Wiki entry: "However, the author fits the description of Israel Cohen (1879-1961) a prolific Zionist author who wrote the Foreword to Israel Zangwill's "The Schnorrers" as well as 30 other books. Like many purported "hoaxes," the quotation does describe events as they subsequently unfolded and the operations of the US Communist Party." This information was removed.
Cohen was the General Secretary of the World Zionist Organization. If this is the same Cohen, it means Zionism and Communism were identical. - See more at: http://henrymakow.com/the_book_the_bankers_made_disa.html#sthash.BNz7kB83.dpuf

Densel Washington is good actor. Very enjoyable to watch. I like his performance in Flight Plan. I also enjoy Morgan Freeman's performances. But they are not on the same level as the great white actors.
There are not that many movies with great acting by blacks. Does anyone compare to Pacino, De Niro, Gosling, Brando, Daniel Day Lewis, Hackman etc?
I really can't think of any that can match their charisma and talent.

Black guys took their jobs!
-
Why would they choose from the Euroleague instead of American players?
Jews control which players are chosen in America and they choose blacks because of their agenda to abdicate the white male and race.
I'd like to see the best white NBA and NFL players against the best black NBA and NFL players. And you would have to go find the whites that the Jews skipped and you never really heard from.
Look how good whites are in Rugby. the NFL is majority black because that's how the Jews want it to be. Not because of skill.
And as Trump said, the NFL has become boring anyways with all the penalties and halting of play. Rugby > NFL.
-
Black guys took their jobs!
Soon they will be replaced by robots.
-
Is it impossible to conceive that the majority of better actors happen to be white? I am not saying the case, but lets say it is. Given that situation, should we just vote blacks in for the hell of it?
Since Al Doggity sees a clear case of racism, could he enlighten us with the names of the blacks that didn't fairly receive nominations.
-
Do you think Matt Damon matches their charisma and talent? Or Emma Stone?
No. Emma Stone has not won an Oscar I believe so not sure why you bring her up.
Matt Damon is very enjoyable to watch - like Denzel. He is however IMO not in the same league as the greatest actors. He has won 1 Oscar. Was there any black actor in the year that he won that matched his performance? If so, please list the movie and actor.

Because there is no ban nor limits for European players. Its a international league.

Matt Damon is nominated for an acting Oscar this year and Emma Stone was nominated for one last year. I don't think Matt Damon's Oscar is for his acting. I also don't think he is comparable to Denzel Washington in terms of acting talent.
I think Denzel is one of America's best actors. Sam Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Sydney Poitier all American greats. The point of bringing up Emma Stone and Matt Damon was that Oscar nominees and winners aren't consistently the BEST of the BEST. They're just working actors who delivered a good performance (if we're lucky). So, I think it's bullshit to say that there are no great black actors, but I also think it's bullshit to pretend that to get nominated every year means your competing against Robert Deniro's greatest performances ( who , quite frankly, is just phoning it in at this point. He apparently has some gambling debts to pay off or something)

http://www.vdare.com/articles/nfl-teams-and-sports-journalists-discriminating-against-white-players (http://www.vdare.com/articles/nfl-teams-and-sports-journalists-discriminating-against-white-players)
For years, J.D. Cash`s website Caste Football has argued, perhaps excessively at times, that both the NFL and big time college football discriminate against whites, slotting them into certain positions and not giving them a chance to prove themselves in “black” positions.
For example, perhaps the most extraordinary athlete in college football last year was U. of Arkansas quarterback Matt Jones—an excellent running quarterback (6.6 yards per carry in his college career) and a decent passer (55 touchdowns versus 30 interceptions). At the NFL draft "combine" workout, Jones, who is 6`6" and about 230 pounds, turned in a spectacular time in the 40-yard dash of 4.37 seconds, comparable to the legendary Atlanta Falcon running quarterback Michael Vick`s best-documented time of 4.36. Jones` vertical leap of 39.5 inches was also impressive. (He started on the Arkansas basketball team.)
In recent years, the NFL has been snapping up running quarterbacks and hoping that they eventually mature into excellent passers (such as Donovan McNabb finally has become, but Michael Vick hasn`t yet). So Jones might have seemed like a natural.
There was a problem, though: unlike all the recent running quarterbacks, Jones is white.
Jones was perfectly willing to switch to wide receiver, but that raised another difficulty: that`s a stereotypically black position too. So, many teams wanted Jones to beef up so he could play tight end, an unglamorous blocking position where many whites are stashed.

Well, as you said Damon has not won an Oscar for Acting. I think he is a good enough actor to be nominated for an Oscar. Denzel has won 2 Academy Awards already for acting so that just proves there is no bias at the Academy Award. They will give an Oscar to a worthy black actor.
But were there any great black performances worthy of nominations / awards for 2015? If so list the movies and actors.
Samuel Jackson is also entertaining to watch, but is his acting great? He is in your face and obnoxious and does the same type of acting over and over.
There is no bias. Blacks always cry about this or that. You are the most insecure race on the planet. Always seeking recognition and reassurance that you are worthy of something or being discriminated against. It is so fucking pathetic.
-

I think you are being intentionally obtuse here. My point in bringing up Damon and Stone was that they were working actors capable of delivering good performances. If you want to believe that there are no black actors comparable to Deniro and Pacino, that's fine. But Deniro and Pacino aren't the only white actors being nominated for Oscars. There are plenty of black actors that are at least as good as Damon.
This year, it's been said, but Idris Elba gave one of the performances of the year in "Beasts of No Nation". Definite better than Matt Damon.

In your eyes. That is where the matters of subjectivity comes in. To the judges, Matt Damon may have gave a better performance, independent of his skin color.

Ok, I'll admit I forgot about Beast of No Nations. I did watch it and I thought it was very good. It would have been nice if the dialogue was in a native language instead of English. I hate when they do that with German and French movies as well and try to make you believe they are speaking a foreign language yet it is in English.
Elba is good in this Netflix movie. He does a decent job of delivering a broken English African Drug Lord dialogue. However at times his British connections would show in his dialogue - very subtly.
I will say he does deserve an Oscar nomination for this role. Perhaps the nomination was not given because of Hollywood's relationship with Netflix more so than perceived racism against blacks?
Any other good movies? I'll have to watch some there are many recent movies that I have not seen yet.

Hell, if Poitier's 60s classics were filmed just a decade or two later, the guy's shelf would be filled with Oscars; today, though, we're stuck with Spike, McQueen, and this Lee Daniels idiot forcing their second rate race-baiting garbage down our throats, then demanding undeserving, white guilt trophies.
My guess, Academy is BEGGING screenwriters and directors for Oscar-caliber offerings, and they're just not stepping up. Blame your fucking selves, ya damn hacks, nobody's buying this nonsense anymore.
Then spend a little effort protesting the NBA for its lack of Caucasian and Mexican representation, just to pretend you really care about equality.

Funny that you mention spike lee. that guy is one of the most racist ppl in hollywood yet he bitches about equality. Given the situation were reversed, i don't think you would hear a word from him

He's just a miserable, loudmouth shithead whose predictable racist garbage is protected by black (celebrity) privilege. 'Do the Right Thing,' boring and lame as f**k to me, won him overwhelming critical praise, and it was just two hours of white-hating bigotry. Yet it launched the turd's directing career.
I did like Inside Man, but his best work by far was pissing off Clint by implying he was racist for not having black soldiers in either of his WWII films ('Flags' and 'Letters'). Pushing 80, Eastwood was too damn old and too damn successful to waste whatever diplomacy he had left on Lee:
"Guy like that needs to shut his face," he said, clearly outta giveable fucks.

No. I'm saying if you have such staunch morals, don't let something as silly as getting paid convince you to support such an unfair system.
If so, then it's quite hypocritical.
I don't expect you to agree of course. It's just my opinion.
No, it's not hypocritical, because it's not just a moral issue. It's also an issue of practicality.
But let's look at it a different way. Take the race element out of it. Imagine Kevin James was upset that the Academy didn't nominate "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" and he was not going to attend the show because the Academy doesn't expect comedy. Then imagine some other comedian come out and say " Yeah, he's right. The Oscars doesn't respect comedy." If those things happened, would it make sense that Kevin James entirely stopped working in Hollywood, along with any other comedian who felt the Oscars didn't respect comedy? Is it a logical follow-up that because Kevin James thinks the academy doesn't respect comedy, that any comedy winner from the last 60 years return their award? One set of things has nothing to do with the other. That's what I'm trying to get you to understand.
-
you dont see asians whining like lil bitches.
LOL that's only because you're not listening. Who can blame you, though? You probably couldn't even name 5 asian actors, much less be aware of anything they've said about race. Let's take the show "Fresh off the boat", just for an easy example. Every member of the lead cast has addressed how hard it is being an asian actor in Hollywood. I'm gonna link to some comments from the show's creator, Eddie Huang, just because they were the first to pop up in Google:
Huang feels that by adulterating the specificity of his childhood in the pursuit of universal appeal, the show was performing a kind of “reverse yellowface” — telling white American stories with Chinese faces. He doesn’t want to purchase mainstream accessibility at the expense of the distinctiveness of his lived experiences, though he is aware of how acutely Asian-Americans hunger for any kind of cultural recognition. “Culturally, we are in an ice age,” he said. “We don’t even have fire. We don’t even have the wheel. If this can be the first wheel, maybe others can make three more.”
Almost every asian actor working in Hollywood (that I can think of) has talked about dealing with racial adversity.

I see what you are saying, but again, that's what you are ignoring is the practicality of it.
See, you're talking about people boycotting the Academy awards who will not be affected what so ever by them not showing up.
Both Smith and his wife along with Spike Lee could do absolutely nothing for the rest of their lives and their living situation would not change at all. If they get no parts, get absolutely nothing for the rest of their lives in regards to Hollywood, they will be fine.
They are trying to get others to boycott and those people NEED jobs.
That's what "Aunt Viv's" video was talking about.
To answer your questions though... The answer is yes.
Yes, he should stop working if he feels so slighted. Yes the people who agree should return their Oscars. They have everything to do with each other because Hollywood is connected like that.
You are not understanding my point and as you continue to not understand, I see no point in continuing the conversation.
I will not respond to you again on this matter.

i don't see why you insist debating this guy in an intelligent polite fashion. He is a race baiter. He always will be a race baiter. This is one of the big problems with the black population in general. Anytime some of them do not perform up to satisfactory, they wont get recognized for their achievements so they scream racism. It's what al doggity has been doing this entire thread, and its what black actors/actresses are doing. As a whole, there are way more white actors because there is a bigger white population (that should be common sense but for ppl like al it isn't), so whites by the percentages will likely have more of an opportunity to provide the better actors. That is if we isolate this in a vacuum and don't account for intellectual differences between races

So, once again, if people need jobs, it doesn't make sense that they would stop working. Does the fact that they need to earn money mean that a system is perfect? No. Does the fact that a system provides a way to make a living mean it's perfect? No. Does the fact that a system is imperfect mean that you can't address those problems? Absolutely not.
To answer your questions though... The answer is yes.
Yes, he should stop working if he feels so slighted. Yes the people who agree should return their Oscars. They have everything to do with each other because Hollywood is connected like that.
Then why are there so many popular actors who haven't won or even been nominated for academy awards? Every actor who has't won an academy award should stop working? What if an actor or writer enjoys making films but has no goals to win an oscar? Is it the same with other awards? Do you see how this line of thinking makes no sense?
-

I don't agree with that. I wouldn't say he's a garbage actor. It seems like that's a far cry from the truth. I am not saying he is the BEST actor--the best actor, in my opinion, is Daniel Day Lewis. Nonetheless, he has performed solid roles.
The Pursuit of Happiness was his best work.

The general thought on the Pacino "Scent of A Woman" Oscar is that it was an atonement for him losing 6 (or 7 depending on count) times in the past for the best actor nomination. Also he had a double nomination that year (1993) for both SoAW, and Glengarry Glen Ross, so the deck was stacked in his favor to win something.

Same with Newman winning for 'The Color of Money,' after getting snubbed for 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, 'Hud,' 'The Hustler,' 'Butch and Sundance,' 'Cool Hand Luke,' 'Absence of Malice,' 'The Verdict' (probably the biggest travesty of all), and then 'Road to Perdition' and 'Nobody's Fool' later.

Blacks will complain racism at any point they can because it has worked. It will continue to work until the white populatin says "enough", you guys have equal footing and its your on genetics and poor breeding that has disabled you form prospering further.
To put it into perspective, mr turbo will chose to breed and his children will be just as dumb as he and his wife. then he will cry that they are discriminated against because he (an idiot) chose to procreate with his wife (likely another idiot, otherwise why would she be attracted to mr turbo), and the cycle of crying racism will continue
-
The Colour of Money is awesome.
Yes, it was decent, but FAR from Newman's best performance.
Like the man said about Pacino, overlooked for the first two Godfathers, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, And Justice for All, Scarface, Carlito's Way, Glengarry, etc., but he then gets it for Scent of a Woman?
They're sympathy Oscars, correcting prior mistakes made by the Academy.

It seems black movies will only get nominated if it has to do with Slavery. Some guilt built in to make the whites pick it. What Spike Lee et al are forgetting is that the Oscar nominations are more about campaigning than anything else. Lots of push from producers to the voters to pick their movie. Gifts, kickbacks, etc....

Do you want attention?
we know your arguments, racism doesn't exist and when facts disagree with you then there is some sort of political agenda. We don't know what that agenda is yet but let's hope that information with be forthcoming soon. Looking forward to seeing this. If I've mischaracterized your position feel free to clarify. hope you feel better now.

Over the last half century or so I have never seen more than a few seconds of this kind of self-congratulatory pablum, including the Oscars.
I go to the theater to watch a movie now and then or buy one on Blu Ray or what have you but not this stuff. I have enjoyed a couple of Smith's films enough that I bought then on Blu-Ray (MIB I, II & III, I am Legend and Hancock to be exact.
His son sucks at life, let alone "acting". I suspect they're boycotting to prevent him from showing up in a nicer gown than any woman in attendance.
Whatever. Get over it and get on with it or get out of it.

How on God's green earth does that negate the comparison?
Both are entirely profit-driven institutions, and TALENT ultimately fills the coffers. Everyone knows blacks clearly dominate on the court. Franchises tend to be more competitive and profitable when they're stocked with 6'8" brothers who can hurdle a Range Rover and sink outside jumpers with reliable consistency. And far as I know, no one has ever suggested (or even thought about) boycotting the NBA for its lack of diversity.
Hollywood's exactly the same: white, black, brown, yellow = meaningless. "This town only recognizes one color," Morgan Freeman once said: "green." If you have the talent, star appeal, or whatever intangible big screen quality that puts asses in seats, studios will be bombarding your agent with scripts.
What difference do the owners' and execs' races make? They pay these folks millions for their talent, knowing damn well the investments will eventually pay off in, ahem, spades. Isn't this precisely how a market-driven economy is supposed to work?

Both are entirely profit-driven institutions, and TALENT ultimately fills the coffers. Everyone knows blacks clearly dominate on the court. Franchises tend to be more competitive and profitable when they're stocked with 6'8" brothers who can hurdle a Range Rover and sink outside jumpers with reliable consistency. And far as I know, no one has ever suggested (or even thought about) boycotting the NBA for its lack of diversity.
Hollywood's exactly the same: white, black, brown, yellow = meaningless. "This town only recognizes one color," Morgan Freeman once said: "green." If you have the talent, star appeal, or whatever intangible big screen quality that puts asses in seats, studios will be bombarding your agent with scripts.
What difference do the owners' and execs' races make? They pay these folks millions for their talent, knowing damn well the investments will eventually pay off in, ahem, spades. Isn't this precisely how a market-driven economy is supposed to work?
Who are the biggest white stars in hollywood right now?

Typical.
Yes, it is typical that the only time you would be offended by a "racist" post is if you felt it was racist against white people. And, of course, you're dumb enough to actually criticize ME for having a double standard within that post. ::)

Also, the biggest black stars, too. Three of each if you can. Or even more. It will help the example.

Wow. The depth of your thinking is exceeded (albeit just) only by the shallow end of the gene pool from whence you came. In typical liberal fashion when a lib gives their opinion they're right no matter what and when someone disagrees vehemently with said opinion they're a racist.
It must hurt to be as racist and ignorant as you and yet you salve your manlet ego with the lotion of hatred for all that disagree. Allow me, kid. We are one race. Human.
Obviously some are better at math, some at feats of strength and still others in athletic events. And then there is you. Pathetic imitation of life, you. Willing to see hatred everywhere but in the mirror of your own shriveled up soul.
I fart in your general direction. Look it up, little man. Typist.

Ooooo....I suppose it's not an insult if the one that it is intended for is too stupid to understand, eh chumley? What's next, ace? Eat da poo poo?
You've got your head so far up your ass you can chew your food a second time on the way down.
And a third on the way out. Eat da poo poo, indeed. Now go away! Or I shall taunt you a second time! Lord almighty but you are one dumb moflovious.

The key difference is the selection process in sport is transparent with the draft systems. How some of the hollywood films get approved is a real mystery. Most of it is crap too, everyone knows hollywood is a closed system that one needs to somehow get inside. this is what spike lee basically said about these "green light meetings" in that clip someone just posted.
A better comparison would be to simply look at another award system like the emmys or grammys and compare and see what you find.
As for the market driven economy stuff that's a fairy tale too.

He wont go to Oscars ceremony, but will go to NBA game. How will he be comfortable there, NBA lacks of diversity... ::)
Because the word diversity is a total lie. They don't want diversity. They don't give half a shit about diversity. They don't know the meaning of the word.
To them diversity is a slick sounding way to say they want more black people in stuff. They want more blacks to win awards. They want more blacks to be in charge of shit. They want more blacks to own shit. They don't give a shit about Asians or Hispanics or native Americans or any other minority group. They are demanding that whites give more black people jobs, accolades or power that they did not earn.....because racism, because slavery.
My answer is a swift fuck you.

Who are the biggest white stars in hollywood right now?
No clue. Never cared about such things, nor do I usually see films based on actors. Only interested in directors with decent track records.
Can't think of a single actor whose mere presence would draw me to the theater. I like plenty, don't get me wrong, but I'm only interested in seeing something them in something that has a quality writing/directing team behind it.
Was this going somewhere?

Isn't this a bit oversimplified?
Guess my question should be this: How is race defined?
(REALLY don't feel like Googling it, so I'll understand if you feel the same.)

I tend to think as did John. We are all human beings. Our DNA is what makes us so. We can have children together. We should celebrate our many similarities but instead, glorify the few differences.
More often than not race is defined by those that seek to gain the most from doing so and all colors of humans do this within the confines of their ability to get away with it.

"Ineffectual"? Only because of your inability to understand true metaphorical humor with a more than a touch of the truth. Actually it takes very little time to write as I do. If it takes you too long to read and comprehend, then you have not my apology but rather, my pity.
As for diapers? I would hate to see, let alone change, the one that swaddles your mind. :o ;D

It was. I was hoping to do some analyses on how race and studio perceptions affected careers in specific ways, but it looks like neither one of us is around that much tonight and it'll probably come up again at some point.
Therefore, I'll ask you a simple question and hopefully you'll answer honestly. Currently the voting members of the Academy are 95% white. If the Academy was 95% Black, do you think that all of the nominees in all four of the major acting categories for the last 2 years would have been still been white? Or do you think if the voting Academy was 95% black, that would have affected the racial make up of the nominees?

I am not come to salve your fetid prejudice by agreeing with that which is wrong. You are not this stupid, so quit trying for the Oscar for Best Supporting Racist and change for the better instead of the bitter.
Or not.

You've been screaming out for my attention for the past half page. If you feel like I misunderstood you, feel free to restate what you meant in another way.

1) Just sounds too conspiratorial for me to buy in. Can't possibly sit through a Spike Lee interview, but wouldn't common sense tell us a 'green lit' film is either one with a statistically high potential return (for major studios); or, one a more artistically inclined (often smaller/independent) studio just digs and wants to see made? Too simple?
2) Awards are subjective. Alleging deliberate, racially-based exclusion carries the same weight as "too many incarcerated blacks, justice system must be racist." Correlation does not imply causation, a fallacy so embraced here, it gets tiresome having to constantly remind those who employ it.
Other than too many nominated whites and too few blacks, what else are we working with here? It proves NOTHING. There are probably at least 50 white actors feeling equally snubbed this year, but we won't hear from them. A dozen white directors, too, probably, feeling their films got snubbed. No outspoken protests, no boycotts, no mention at all, yet I'll bet they feel every bit as deserving as those who got nominated.
So sick of every mf'n thing being about race. More played out than shitty comic book/superhero movies.

It would certainly affect the nominations. Wasn't aware of the 95%, not even sure how one becomes an Academy member. Guess it would just reverse the "problem" (minus the boycotts and such), but yeah, that 95% probably subconsciously affects some votes, sure.
However, still believe we're just not getting Oscar-worthy efforts (with one or two exceptions this year) to make much of a case. I can honestly admit this, if that 95% were flipped, I'd probably stop paying attention to the Oscars altogether. Have to imagine it'd turn into an activism issue pretty quick.

What a niggardly way with words you have. Doubtless due to your being something of a Genovan Genius. Rather than learn something worthwhile you choose to be taught a lesson.
By the way Genova, "niggardly" means "cheap" so no need for you to get all butthurt. Go intercourse yourself, punky.

So, if blacks were the majority voters it would have such an impact that you couldn't even take the awards seriously anymore, but you seriously can't fathom that an industry majority run by whites would favor whites? Really?? ::)
Is it because blacks are more racist than whites?

1) too simple!
A lot of films don't make money and how exactly these studios stay afloat seems to be an open question. I gather they make money on merchandising etc. I'll have to look into this some more.
2) That's a whole other subject. Something tells me the justice system is not an example that will work to support this argument. The FBI spent a lot of time investigating MLK jr. for example. why? ??? lol. I still feel looking at the grammys makes more sense but hell people claim the grammys are racist too.
Additionally, what we are working with is that this is the second year in a row of the same phenomenon which indicates a pattern. Also the larger point is to have good look at the industry to see if it's fair. It's possible there's nothing to be learned but I recommend remaining open to new information on this.

Seems you didn't really want an honest response afterall. Already addressed most of this in my previous post. Really don't feel like repeating it, but yeah, imagine I might eventually lose even more interest (as I barely pay attention now).
You can't be serious with that bottom question, so I'll just skip it.

While they may not make money in the US box office, they often make it up on the backside in DVD / Blu-Ray / On-Demand / Digital sales.

Of course I wanted an honest answer. At least you had the integrity to answer honestly, but I could have predicted your next move of pretending like there was some fundamental difference that made the comparison invalid. That was exactly my point. When you flip the race around, it's crystal clear that race the race of the gatekeepers has an impact, but there are probably a million reasons why that's only the case for blacks and not for whites.
The bottom question might be phrased provocatively, but it's a response to a predictable pattern. Just like Tu Holmes with the Kevin James hypothetical earlier in the thread. One set of circumstances is just common sense when it comes to blacks, but if the same situation involves whites, race has nothing to do with anything. ::) And now, surprise!surprise!, you're sick of responding, too.

I believe the technical term for this pattern is "aversive". The subject experinces an unconscious, uncanny discomfort when confronted with their contradictory positions. You are not the first to notice this pattern. Also why often the best we can hope for are rhetorical flourishes in the absence of real thoughts.
Aversive racists, in contrast, sympathize with victims of past injustice, support principles of racial equality, and genuinely regard themselves as non-prejudiced, but at the same time possess conflicting, often non-conscious, negative feelings and beliefs about Blacks that are rooted in basic psychological processes that promote racial bias (Gaertner & Dovidio, 1986). The negative feelings that aversive racists have toward Blacks typically do not reflect open antipathy, but rather consist of more avoidant reactions of discomfort, anxiety, or fear. That is, they find Blacks ‘aversive’, while at the same time find any suggestion that they might be prejudiced ‘aversive’ as well.

All Doggity: I asked before but which black actors in a 2015 movie besides Beast of No Nation deserved nominations? I have not seen a lot of movies in 2015 so list them here and I will check them out.
Besides Elba I think the young black actor Abraham Attah should also have received a nomination. Attah was actually the main character in Beast of No Nation so Elba would have had to receive a supporting actor nomination.
The black kids in that movie had very good performances. Every bit as good as Elba if not better.

“Selma” the MLK movie, we never see a movie like that before
“Wedding Ringer” Kevin Hart comedy
“Focus” Will Smith, plays a con man who takes on a partner, but things get blurry when he starts dating the mudshark
“Magic Mike XXL” - Jada Smith , Stripper movie
“Fantastic Four” - Michael B. Jordan where it was a wise move to replace Johnny with a black actor
“Straight Outta Compton” 4 Nigggas with attitudes rap fuck the police
StarWars , Black Stormtrooper guy

I saw 3 black films that might of been decent contenders -
Bessie -
.
(http://img.uncova.com/44f5be3620c9d18b68cf5c40aa3167efa7470bfc.jpg).
But, that was classed as a television film since it was made for HBO.
Beasts of No Nation -
.
Solid film, but still weak enough that it could easily be unseated by any other good film. Also made for Netflix rather than an established film company, so that might of hurt it.
Straight Outta Compton -
Same general thought as Beasts of No Nation in terms of general quality, but weaker in substance than it.
-
How could this not have won a 5 mic source award
-
I saw Beast of No Nation last week, but its like Holocaust movies , you seen one , you seen them all
-
I'd suggest anything Tyler Perry. Everything the man touches is gold, yet the Academy's clear anti-black bias results in snub after snub, year after year.
The Academy Awards "The Affirmative Era" will soon be upon us.

Had it not been for this controversy, no one would've remembered the Academy Awards even exist.

I could see how. Visually, etc. it was awesome, but for a movie filled with action it was incredibly boring to me (thrown together storyline/no character development, etc.).

I'd boycott the Oscars too. Mainly because it's just a load of self indulgent bullshit.
What he said

I didn't realize the nag boycott was going to include rolling out ugly ass whoopi Goldberg in a half dozen lame skits.
Fuck her and the liberal pieces of shit that support her.

I've always wondered why she is still relevant.
Oh yeah, she's jewish.

She's about as Jewish as Denzel Washington.
At least we didn't have to hear Sean Penn whine about homeless Haitians
And a big fuck you to Will Smith, his whore wife, his dicksucking son, fat racist Beyoncé, her ugly ass ghetto nag husband, and cock loving Quentin Taratino

I'm surprised the white people didn't lynch Chris Rock. I can understand a few jokes about the black thing but he literally spent the entire night acting like a butthurt negro that was getting paid by the same white people he was insulting. Not sure what the fuck that Stacy Dash thing was about either. Instead of crying about racism in Hollywood they need to focus more on the issue of nepotism.

As I said, no one gives a shit about this stupid industry, anymore. Hollywood had a good run, but it's over. There are too many alternatives.

I think someone much earlier asked how one becomes a voting member of the Academy Awards.
I have a couple of family members who 'vote' each year and a good number of friends within the industry who do likewise and they all seem to receive a DVD copy of the films that are nominated for the Oscar, which I think it a pretty nice 'perk' for top film DVD collectors.
Here are the membership requirements ..... (as per the AA website)
Academy membership is limited to film artists working in the production of theatrically-released motion pictures.
The Academy’s membership process is by sponsorship, not application.
Candidates must be sponsored by two Academy members from the branch to which the candidate seeks admission. (I believe that there are 17 branches.)
Additionally, Academy Award nominees are automatically considered for membership and do not require sponsors.
Nominees and sponsored candidates are reviewed by branch committees and recommendations for membership are considered by the Academy’s Board of Governors.
The Board decides which individuals will receive invitations.
Sponsoring a candidate for membership in the Academy is a serious commitment.
"Getbiggers" must be confident the candidate being sponsored has truly “demonstrated exceptional achievement in the field of theatrical motion pictures” before you agree to sponsor an individual.
Membership review takes place once a year, in the spring. The current cycle deadline for candidates is Thursday, March 24, 2016.

LOL. All this controversy surrounding it and no one still cared enough to tune in. The Oscars has become such an irrelevance now.

They already knew what Chris Rock was going to say. Its a scripted show and they brought him in just for the purpose of bashing the Oscars so more people would tune in.
It didn't work ;D

next year, I want you to host the Oscar ceremony. Throwing free chicken breast out to the audience, guest posing, giving a small rap performance and what have you! :D

Ratings are down because people just don't have the attention spans (or time) to sit through a 4 hour Oscars show.

His upcoming films will be nominated though so there might be a conflict of interest.
Films like
Men Inside a Black
D'Voodoo Vince Unchained
The Bee Pollen Movie
Lock, Stock and 2 Teaspoons of Cayenne Pepper
The Lust Boys
On Bitcoin Pond
It's a Gay, Gay, Gay, Gay Gay Black World
No Planes, No Train, Just a used Jaguar

Hollywood is in a bind. Chances are unless they're already in filming that no decent movie with a black star or about blacks is set to be released so will the Academy just choose some shit films or shit acting role to not deal with this next year? Will this cry for diversity screw out a white actor who actually deserves it for a black actor that was only chosen because of their skin color?
I don't get the racism mentality. Don't judge me because of my skin color but give me benefits because of my skin color.

It's always been a marathon. The reason ratings are down is because fewer people give a fvck.
