They can't make them if they don't get funding.

George Lucas even said he felt bad after his Red Tails movie flopped because he knew it just meant studios were less likely to put money into black led movies.

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.
yea

But seeing as how you aren't black, I'm not feeling most of ur post. Tone it down Hun

"Blacks" is fucking offensive but I know you aren't American so you get a bit of a pass

Zankou.

well Black is being a lil more invested in these days so hopefully that'll change in movies just as it did for tv.
This is my pass to say WHATEVER tf I wanna say about the mess she releases so I don't wanna hear SHIT! Baby mama is a mess of a song btw

Um
The guy that portrayed Easy E def deserved an Oscar
Will smith deserved a nod mess

what i don't understand is all the strong african americans voices talking about self love and pride, yet the community don't honour their movie/music nights with as much reverence, rather they vehemently demand white recognition from white entertainment institutions. that is after all what the grammys and oscars are.

all ethnics get a look in, but are not who those institutions are catering to/for.

pCj

Don't expect a diverse nomination list until the voting academy is diverse as well

Beasts of no Nation for one
for a movie to be nominated for an oscar it has to have a theater release. Beast of no Nation is a netflix movie or was it also shown in theaters?

yeah... GHANAest of no nation was a netflix mess

This is a good movie, hopefully more follow.
People keep questioning if there were any good black movies, but won't even question the quality of some of the "white" movies nominated. Lol.

She should get her husband behind this

Hollywood loves them some Will

I'm pretty sure Will isn't going since his ass ain't nominated (which kinda makes this boycott look a lil sus)
