The headlines today reads - The acting categories were again filled entirely by white performers.
Once more the media and press light up the fires with their headlines and insinuations. Free speech at it's best.
Now we are suppose to believe that the overindulgent, overpaid, self absorbed actors and actresses are being neglected, forgotten and not recognized because of the color of their skin.
OH MY GOSH !!! This is just one more way to push a racism card that does not need to be pushed.
People of all races, religions, sexes and whatever the latest and greatest buzz word in Hollywood is are not being selected for whatever reason. Why, oh, why didn't they say we are so proud and excited for the talented actors and actresses that were nominated for the Oscars.
I for one am sick and tired of the race, religion and sexual orientation card being thrown around. Maybe, just maybe the nominees were the actual best in their category and maybe with shock and awe you might believe no one was looking at their skin color but rather the merits of their performances.
Look for in the White House to interject somewhere in here how disappointing they are in Hollywood because of the blatant racism being demonstrated.
Going to or watching movies is not something I do very often and this is just another reason why. Hollywood is as phony as the movies they produce.
I don't look at a persons skin color when I watch a movie, I watch the movie for entertainment value only. I haven't seen any of these movies so I can't speak to whether or not a non white person would have been better for the role.
There will probably be boycotts, protesters from various organizations and more BS hype about this in the coming days.
Since when does the color of our skin determine the quality of job performance whether in Hollywood, the private sector or the military? Anywhere for that matter.
What I can tell you is that I for one will be sitting on pins and needles until Oscar night - NOT !!!
