well, that's one possibility, that for two years NOT one out of all the minority actors actresses and directors working in the field did work that was worthy of an award,,,or nomination,

You said it yourself...its a possibility....maybe black actors have sucked the past teo years. You dont get recognition for the color of your skin.

and another is that they didn't even get considered because of implicit racism

Nah....FRICKIN LIBERAL AS HELL HOLLYWOOD isnt gonna do that....Now, if you wanna imply that its a ploy where they came together and hatched this bs for publicity, Id buy that.

Btw, no one really gives two $hits about the BET Awards anyway. TBH, I dont care about the Oscars....but any port in the promote racism storm, right?

as stated before Miss Dash hasn't a clue and her statements were false and absurd,,,

I never mentioned Ms Dash....but since you did, she fine.

that was a lot of cut and paste for nothing really

awards happen EVERY year,,,its been 7 since the last award or nomination,, according to the above list

and yes, miss dash was graced/blessed with beauty,, who knows where she might be if she didn't at least have that,, cause Im not sure what else she does have,,,

Nah...it was worth it...I destroyed every racist point you tried to make.

awards happen EVERY year,,,its been 7 since
the last award or nomination,, according to the
above list

So? Maybe the black actors and directors should get better at playing the Oscar "game"....because, really, thats all it is.
Again, in this age of Social Justice extremism, youre suggesting Hollywood purposefully left off people because theyre black laugh

and yes, miss dash was graced/blessed with
beauty,, who knows where she might be if she
didn't at least have that,, cause Im not sure
what else she does have,,,

Oh I get it, shes an Aunt Tomette that doesnt tow the black company line.....SO predictable and shameful.

Feel free to spin away....your racism is blatant to all but you.

nothing was destroyed with names and dates that don't refute my point

Im not suggesting whether anything was 'intentional' or not, there is something called 'implicit' which is quite different from 'intentional', though the outcome is the same

I also don't use juvenile terms like tom or tomette, and stated exactly what I meant

Ms Dash, does not appear to have any skills , acting or intellectual that would account for her 'success' in the world,, there are plenty of people like that in all races

but being born 'beautiful' or 'wealthy' can often make up for all other shortcomings,,,

here's an idea.. lets just give everyone an Oscar, since the blacks seem to think it's just a participation award, not a deserved award... they can just have them at the doors, so when anyone walks into the place, they just hand them an Oscar... that way, everyone is happy, and will smith can have one on his fireplace mantle to show everyone what a great actor he is...

so the blacks screech racism, and they they LET a black in... does that make you/them feel better? wouldn't the award/nomination feel better if their wasn't a spike lee of jada screeching in the background? how do you know if was by merit or the "whites" feeling sorry for blacks and LETTING them have their way? is that equality in any sense?

Ice Cube RIPS black Oscar boycott – “We don’t do movies for the industry. We do movies for the fans”

Actor/Rapper Ice Cube joined the Graham Norton Show on Friday and had a really strong opinion about the Black Oscar Boycott of Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith, Spike Lee and Quincy Jones. As the producer of “Straight Outta Compton,” he also spoke about his N.W.A biopic’s exclusion from the Academy’s best picture category

Norton asked Cube if was going to attend the Feb. 28 ceremony, he responded, “I never used to go anyway. You can’t boycott something you never went to.”

In the best picture category, Cube said that being upset about the situation was like “crying about not having enough icing on your cake,” when addressing how the Academy failed to recognize his film for best original screenplay.

“We don’t do movies for the industry. We do movies for the fans, for the people,” he said. “If the industry gives you a trophy or not, or pats you on the back or not, it’s nice, but it’s not something you should dwell on.” He added, “We got accolades from all levels. We got so much praise for the movie.”

I love his attitude! He cares about the art – NOT about awards from peers! GOOD! That is EXACTLY how it should be!

Ice Cube has exactly the attitude that all these actors should have. Are you in performance arts for the awards or because you love it? Who decides if a movie is good or not? Art is subjective anyway. There is a bigger issue going on concerning people’s lives in Flint, MI and I have heard neither Will, Jada or Spike mention this AMERICAN tragedy. You want support for acceptance/

You want support for recognition/acknowledgment from an academy that has failed to do so for decades but you as showing NO support for the people that are fans who have supported your movies, etc.

Who should be more outraged?...............

who said anything about 'outrage'

the woman simply said she isn't going to attend an event which doesn't aknowledge the work of minorities

you support fans by attending ceremonies directed by the fans

this award is directed by an ACADEMY

no similarity there,,

Oscar-Winning Producer Denounces "Spoiled Brats" Crying "Racism"

by Paul Bond
1/22/2016 7:00am PST

"As far as Michael Moore is concerned, he is a socialist always looking to insert his brand of racist hatred. Spike Lee — haven't I heard this from him before?" says 'Schindler's List' producer Gerald Molen.

Gerald Molen, a voting member of the Academy who earned a best picture Oscar for producing Schindler's List, has some very choice words for the "spoiled brats" who are crying racism over the lack of diversity in the nominations this time around.

"There is no racism except for those who create an issue. That is the worst kind. Using such an ugly way of complaining," Molen told The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday.

So far, Spike Lee, Michael Moore, Jada Pinkett Smith and her husband Will Smith have said they will not attend the Oscars because all of the 20 acting nominations went to white actors.

"The idea of a boycott is ridiculous," Molen said. "Are their noses bent out of shape by the award nominations? Of course. That is normal in a town of egos and red-carpet desires. While there were many performances of note, not all my choices for 'best' in the various categories have been realized."
