Why are white people the best actors & actresses?

[CrusaderFrank]

Academy Awards second year in a row, 20 nomination slots, and as white as a Trump rally.

Any explanation?

Racism?

Climate change?

Ebola killed off the black actors in the 2014 apocalypse

I am still trying figure out how The Martian was a comedy for the Golden Globe nomination?

White privilege?

How many films with black actors have you seen this year?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

When was the last unwatchable Spike Lee joint?

Well actually, white are superior in almost all fields of endeavor. Blacks are without dispute the least accomplished, least evolved and least advanced of any ethnic group.

Awards for art reflect the subjective values of those judging the said art.

Must be today's RW talking point.

Is it because the scripts are in English?

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Blacks in the old Tarzan movies. There was this one guy who had a leopard skin draped over his body and head who I thought was real cool. Then there were all those little pygmies in that one Tarzan movie who blew those long blowguns loaded with poison darts. Cool.

Will Smith was outstanding in Concussion.

Whereas you have a teeny-tiny blowgun loaded with completely impotent darts. Not so cool.

I'd say yes. Hollywood makes movies with stars that sell tickets. Do white people prefer watching white people? I'll say yes.

most TV shows, etc, are also constructed with an audience in mind so they can pull viewers in that will support ad revenue.

it's about the money.

In terms of the oscar nominations, I just don't give a damn about the oscars in general. The entire thing is about as dumb as it gets. I don't care who is nominated, what color they are or how important they think their part/movie/performance was. At all.

I loved the Blade movies.

That's what I hear, though a movie about head wounds? Count me out.

THough it is odd it didn't get nominated at least. Seems like perfect Oscar material.

No one thinks that is real life though. For movies depicting history and everyday life people prefer to see themselves reflected in the characters and themes that make them feel comfortable.

I could give a shit about the Oscars as well. I dont understand why my people insist on giving more credibility to white award shows instead of their own shows.
