Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) president Cheryl Boone Isaacs said Monday she was “heartbroken†after the organization behind the Academy Awards nominated exclusively white actors in top acting acting categories for a second straight year, and vowed “big changes†were in store to combat what some critics call a major diversity problem at Hollywood’s biggest night.

I love a good liberal cat fight.
Hey, Leo, you’re a good liberal, why don’t you boycott and refuse your Best Actor award, to show that you are “Down with the Struggle”.
Funny how diversity is expected . . except in the NBA.
Best White Actor? Best Black Actor? Makes as much sense as Best Actor/Actress.
Kanye West would be the perfect guy to take that job on.
Yep.
Nope.
I don’t see anyone of Polish heritage nominated. RACISTS!
If they add more nominees there will likely be more black nominees.
But then, won’t these same people bitch about it if the black nominees don’t actually win the Oscars???
Remember the bitching about how Selma didn’t get enough nominations and didn’t win in the categories it was nominated in??
Then we are supposed to ignore how 12 Years A Slave won best picture. We have to ignore any black award actually won to push this racist meme.
The movies that were nominated this year suck. I think Gays are the top dogs in the Hollywood hierarchy.
From the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences website:
NOMINATIONS VOTING PROCESS
Regular awards are presented for outstanding individual or collective film achievements in a wide variety of categories. Most categories are nominated by the members of the corresponding branch-actors nominate actors, film editors nominate film editors, etc. However, certain categories such as Foreign Language Film and Animated Feature Film have special voting rules which can be viewed at our Rules & Eligibility page.
All voting members are eligible to select the Best Picture nominees.
Nominations voting is conducted using both paper and online ballots, with online voting being the preferred choice for the overwhelming majority of Academy members. Voting for nominations begins in late December, and all votes are tabulated by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Nomination results are then announced at a live televised press conference in mid-January at the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
It's not some secret star chamber that only nominates white people.

Something I ran across just this last year and was impressed by how profound it was.
"The slave doesn't dream of freedom. He dreams of being the master."
And the awards selected by LA elites become even more meaningless than they already are...
Moreover, they might want to consider that pride is the deadliest sin of all.
What about “Crash”?
Whenever the academy is stuck with a problem they usually give a lifetime achievement award. I suggest Pam Grier.
Have to have token Asians, blacks, whites, Muslims, Christians, Eskimos, American Indians, Indians, Japanese...did I miss anyone?
Coming soon, to an Academy Award near you:
Best Black Actor in a lead role
Best Black Actress in a lead role
Best Black Actor in a supporting role
Best Black Actress in a supporting role
Best Half Black, Half Hispanic actor in a lead role
Best Half Black, Half Hispanic actress in a lead role
...and so on, and so on, and so on
Diversity!
The path to irrelevance is assured.
Hell, they did it to the Nobel Prize, why not the Oscars.
No, it’s leftists who only nominate white people.
LOL, I was thinking exactly that. Just look at what AA has done for education.
