Such whiny horseshit. Start making more Glorys, Amistads, and Color Purple-quality films and writing better roles for the Denzel/Freeman/Cheadle-types and these bitchy pricks wouldn't have to hold the Academy ransom with half-assed garbage like 12 Years and Precious. Anyone honestly sit through these two?
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.
