I agree with the boycott, It's ridiculous that there's no diversity in the nominations when there's more than enough contenders that got snubbed.

He's not black but Benicio Del Toro was also highly tipped to pick up a nod this year.

morgan freeman would be the ideal spokesperson, he has played the president and God so many time and so convincingly, most movie goers think he is the superior being

Everyone knows that the oscar winner is rarely the one who deserves it. Particularly in the less high profile awards. It's America lovies!

I found this poster from 1919 which shows that african americans have been represented as far back as then. I'm sure there is more information out there if i look into it.

Lol... true.

I liked Niamh's opinion earlier. I know Hollywood and casting are all about looks... but why are roles that don't require any sort of race at all always cast white? Superhero movies... all white. Why is colour such a major factor in determining the actor chosen. And yes, it's the same for Indian or Asian actors as well. Master of None... the tv show on Netflix actually has a great episode that deals with this issue.

Will Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith needs to understand that she was only invited on the plus one anyways because of her famous movie star husband otherwise she would not have even been invited in the first place cos she can't act for toffee.

Yeah, because she's clearly miffed because she herself hasn't been nominated. That must be it.

Spike Lee actually picked up an honorary Oscar last year and was described as "a champion of independent film and an inspiration to young filmmakers". Guess he forgot.

It's like when the black lady was cast as Hermione and the whole backlash it got showed how there is still a way to go.

Hermione is essentially a race neutral character and the kicking off about it was ridiculous.

In the Potter books, Hermoine came back from France with a suntan. Hardly race neutral.
