‘Selma’ Director Calls Sony Emails ‘Sickening and Sad’
WASHINGTON, D.C. — On the same day that she became the first black woman to receive a Golden Globe nomination for best director, “Selma” filmmaker Ava DuVernay took a moment to remark on the controversial email exchange that, for some, has highlighted a dispiriting lack of progress in some of the higher echelons of Hollywood.
“I have two words: sickening and sad,” DuVernay told Variety at Thursday night’s Washington, D.C., premiere of “Selma.” “That’s really all I have to say.”

you wont hear any screaming about this, just like you never hear about sexual assaults in Hollywood (except that now they have an agenda against bill cosby)
Fags are normally racists
Neither the Variety article, nor the article it links to, mention what the supposedly offensive remarks were.
I know right, how about last spring the stories of the boy raping by director Bryan Singer and the boy raping orgy parties, something like 4 guys came out said they were raped by that puke and *poof* like magic it gets brushed under the rug 1-2-3.
Is this movie “Selma” about the civil rights movement? Is this going to be this years “12 Years A Slave” politically correct favorite for the Oscars???
Sorry to be so cynical.......
They sent emails to each other asking what movie to show Obama and they said stuff like “Django” and “12 years a slave” making fun of him because he was black. Of course Variety don’t mention that, gotta protect the libs. Oh yeah then they trashed other black people, calling one a whore.
Here is some of what they wrote:
“”What should I ask the president at this stupid Jeffrey breakfast?”
Sony Pictures chair Amy Pascal emailed Scott Rudin before a some Jeffrey Katzenberg. (Katzenberg heads DreamWorks Animation, and Rudin is the producer behind “No Country for Old Men” and “Moneyball.”) “Should I ask him if he liked DJANGO?” Rudin: “12 YEARS.”
Is there much to learn from these leaked Sony emails? I linked to Buzzfeed, which calls Pascal “a major Democratic donor”: “she gave $5,000 to Obama’s re-election campaign and cut a $30,800 check to the Democratic National Committee.”
Elsewhere on Buzzfeed, we learn that Rudin calls Angelina Jolie “a minimally talented spoiled brat.”
Is there something perversely pleasurable about seeing that these Hollywood people hate each other? Or was that always the presumption, and learning the details only taints you?”

Pascal has given more than 30,000+ dollars to the Democrat Party..that is something you won’t hear about in the Dem loving media..this just proves what I have already know about Democrats for years, its THEY who are the true racists..now I don’t condone people spying on other people’s emails..but I remember a time when the media was ooing and ahhing at Sarah Palin’s stolen emails trying to find anything to bring her down, of course they found NOTHING..now they are making a fuss because the shoe is on the other foot
I would love to find out if these two idiots have been openly supporting the phantom racism agenda by the left when it comes to cases like Trayvon and the recent cases against the cops. Not one single solitary shred of evidence of racism in all those cases yet from the White House all the way down, they’ve been going full steam ahead anyway with the racism accusations and here you go: Two hardcore lefties talking racist ha ha.
Blacks in the entertainment industry are surprised people make money off of them by making fun of them? Really? I guess they really are dumb.
They also need to realize that Oprah and all the Hollywood and democrat elites don’t want to live anywhere near them either.
Leftists have always been the true racists..they just try to cover up their racism by pointing the finger at Conservatives, when they know that it is them who are the TRUE racists..Ive heard the N word come out of many people’s mouths, and let me tell you, NONE Of those people were Conservative, they were all leftist..but see, with leftists, when they say something racist, they can get away with it because “Hey, they are progressive, they care about black people” meanwhile, they degrade blacks every chance they get, but they know they have blacks in their back pocket so they really have nothing to worry about
“sickening and sad”?
With all the issues facing the “black community” . . . and people get worked up over a few harmless (hypocritical) emails?
in case you never saw it, there was a piece (sorry just don’t remember what news show), where they talked about the many law firms in Beverly hills where all they do is squash any complaints against stars.
I also have to imagine there are methods outside the legal arena where the stars can go to make something disappear,.
I agree and disagree.
We are getting to the point where Al Sharpton will be in charge of picking all CEOs.
Kind of wonder how that huckster got so much power.
What I find far more sickening and sad is this manufactured outrage and PC at people being people. Obama is a pretty damn easy target. He’s a hapless hyena who screws up everything he touches and doesn’t know it because he’s such a child. He deserves whatever people say about him.
The left might publicly denounce and decry racism, sexism and all that but their rules never apply to themselves.
LOL, Democrats being Democrats , say one thing in public and in private ,LOL, don’t ask , chuckle
The Sony hack spread the emails around that reveal what we all already knew - that leftists are chronic racists. While they posture and mouth the right words in public, in private they are resentful, hateful and petty. Sony Japan needs to let this “leader” how useful she has become.
All they were really doing was discussing how to kiss Obama’s butt by making more “black” films.
