DoonTheSlope Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 What a load of absolute bollocks, maybe if the black/ethnic/coloured/people of colour* actors and actresses had put in Oscar winning performances then they would have been nominated by their peers. They should sit doon and shut up. *delete as offended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stapes Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 If the Academy had nominated an average performance by a black actor they'd be being accused of positive discrimination. Would that please Spike Lee et al? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brant grebner Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It's just nonsense. Will Smith's been nominated twice and lost both times to a black guy - Wesley Snipes and Sidney Poitier.
