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

Liberalism striking at the pinnacle of Hollywood awards is rather fitting.
I guess we need a "Math is Hard" Black Barbie now...
They have one.
It’s called the “BET Awards”.
Yes what about Crash?? Apparently we can’t recount the history of black Oscar winners or black themed movies which win awards. The only thing that matters to these idiots is the current year crop of nominees, and a compliant media to carry their inane message.
It’s hard not to laugh when the Hollywood “Liberals” get tripped up in their own foolishness.
It is a race between the Oscars and non-science Nobel prizes to see which will become most worthless.
Figures.
They all suck...black or white.
And giving that silly little statue to someone based upon the color of their skin as opposed to their ability to perform their art in a superior manner to that of their colleagues..., well, that's just the way it should be after all the oppression they've suffered at their own, uh, the hands of whitey.
I'm sick of this crap.
They need changes. The Oscars have had well identified, and rather boring, tendencies for a long time. Tendencies which frequently cause them to miss the best pictures and performances by a mile. Focusing on color and gender probably won’t help, but at least they’ll be making new and different mistakes which actually might render the proceedings somewhat interesting for a few years.
There was a time when they split the cinematography category and maybe some others into black and white and color but that ended when color movies became dominant.
You do when they pan the crowd. It’s the Hollywood elites that do the voting. Nominations are done “within category”
(ie the directors guild puts together the director nominations) but winners are voted for at large.
They’re going to need a Ton of Cheese to go with all that Whine
When will whites win BET Awards?
I'm loving this.
Let Oscar Die ,his time has come and gone long long ago
Straight is already under represented at the Oscars.
Will ‘black face’ proliferate?
And a good number of them are gay. Looks like Gay trumps Black in Hollywood.
Wanna bet that POS 0bama made phone calls and pushed his pen to fix this problem...
F U Hollywood
Why not just give everyone a trophy that says “ Participant” and call it good?
