coolzeal: It is an award that rewards talent and not a quota system thing. If black actors did not meet up with their white counterparts based on performance why should they be compensated based on their skin color? Isn't that on its own racist? 6 Likes 3 Shares |

APCzombie:Even in the music industry it's the same talk more of Oscar. The truth is, Black entertainers in America need to work their butt-out to get recognized or lick some a*sses to get a reputable role. Ever wonder why it is so difficult for dark skin actors to succeed in Hollywood. Think man.. 3 Likes |

Let the blacks come together and make a movie that is worthy of an oscar award,playing racist tunes coz dey are not nominated is bull-sh1t. If I may ask,which black actor or movie with a black as the leading role deserves an oscar this year. Lupita said just few words in '12 years a slave' and got an oscar,if we are truthful,she doesn't deserve it. Blacks and their wailings are what is giving the likes of Donald Trump and others courage to spit poo @ blacks. Wetin concern me with movies,when I can listen to real hardcore rap dropped daily by blacks. Music over movies anytime. But I love porn videos sha. 2 Likes 1 Share |

coolzeal:I disagree with u on the music part. Who rules the music world in America. It's Blacks. Dre,diddy,hov(jay-z),kanye,birdman,etc are blacks,who av taken over the music sector. The only white folk worth mentioning is Eminem. |

coolzeal: Black America has only themselves to blame. The leading actors in black America got into Hollywood via black movies that presented them as ghetto superstars. Comics like Chris Rock are notorious for their vulgar language and reducing of black communities. It does then suffice that most leading black actors are sell out to the system. Is there any role for a black actor in a movie set in Victorian England? No! Check the nominees and see the genre of films they starred in and it will give you a clue on why there were no black actors. 1 Like |

Mamatee07: Nice view but I do not concur that promoting ones tribe over any other is wrong or should be discouraged. The whites do not have to sacrifice all the advantage they have endowed the entire universe with to please any tribe. The black race should get its act together, the Asians do not care about Oscar because they learnt to develop their society/awards according to what's desirable to them. What millennium will Africa/blacks be able to stand on its feet ? The black in the USA have the advantage n should learn from the musicians, athletes that excel in their field n are able to break the jinx n penetrate the divides. The Whites will groom/nurture a potentially to success, what are all the black that have excelled done ? I can remember when Taylor won her first Grammy n Dicapirio in titanic, they are now mega pros. What talent did Bill Cosby, L Jackson n co nurtured to success or they are simply waiting on the White to do that all over again after they were given the opportunity by the same white ? 3 Likes 2 Shares |

coolzeal: Idris Elbas performance in Beast of No Nation was good and d movie was nice (not a favorite of mine tho...leaves u feeling there's something missing) BUT it's going up against very Stiff competition this year n that's the fact. Granted the Academy voters need to have a lil more MINORITY representation but that shouldn't take away from d fact that it IS all about performance. 1 Like |

APCzombie:Whichever way you want to look at it or express your opinion, It all boils down to racism and the notion that white sells. The ghetto thing is a representation of the society or communities these black artists originate from and as they sow higher, they try to balance their lives with the new environment they found themselves after generating success. Dark skinned Blacks in the United States have lower socioeconomic status, more punitive relationships with the criminal justice system, diminished prestige, and less likelihood of holding elective office compared with their lighter counterparts. This phenomenon of “colorism” is glaring so, I think it's safe to say Black people have come a long way to achieve success. Will Smith and Idris Elba deserve to be nominated in the next month Academy Award and these are not ghetto stars but A list actors.. 1 Like |

dBard:The Academy president is a black woman with roughly over 6000 members. 94% are whites and 77% are males and the average age is 63.. Will Smith was phenomena in Concussion, Idris Elba- Beast Of Nation, Michael B Jordan in Creed and of course Straight Outta Compton were all snubbed. Am not saying they should win but at least get nominated because these are fantastic movies. It's injustice. |
