black actors taking it personal once again
Where there AWESOME performances by a black actor last year? just because there were some roles played by black actors doesnt mean SOME have to be nominated for the sake of "diversity".
Its about the best performances. Seems like some people dont get this yet.
Where are the asian actors nominations?
the latin ones?
the spanish ones?
Stop being so damm sensitive, lol. "Blacks are sidelined" "blacks this" "blacks that" pleaaaaaaaaase, lol.
i actually agree, thats why i asked were there any really great performances by african americans or any african american movies that warranted a nod? Ride Along 2 isnt gonna fckn cut it
nice to see someone actually getting the point.
Some people take opinions as shade or non sense or something.
Halle has gotten an Oscar, Denzel has gotten one, Lupita another one. Will Smith has been nominated if Im not wrong.
on Tv, Kerry has been nominated, Viola has been nominated for both tv and movie roles...
I mean.... where is exactly the boycott? 
Now tell me who was the last asian actor nominated. I dont even know if one recieved a nom in the last 2 decades. So if there is a real boycott is to asian industry, same with latin actors.
And I dont have to be black to understand this issue. Im hispanic, so hey, Im on the minority too.
TV shows are different altogether. They are not nominated for Academy Awards. While there may be some need for more diversity at The Emmys, it is The Academy Awards that is known to purposefully shut out people of color. For instance, this year Straight Out of Compton was nominated, but only for the 2 white screenwriters, instead of any of the other people working on the same movie who just happened to be black. It seems intentional...
You probably don't see it because you don't know how it goes being that you aren't from the US and aren't black.
