#Oscar's so White

Rule #1.)Please don't argue an ideology just facts.

Which minority actors were shafted this year?

Please keep it Civil and follow rule #1

I've heard people talking about Idris Elba for Beasts of No Nation. I haven't seen it yet though, but Elba is a great actor generally.

Michael Jordan

I dunno, it's only been 2 weeks though.

I don't think any of them were shafted, frankly.

Assuming that there's a limited number of slots to fill per category, I think 2015 was a really competitive year for the Oscars. I thought the actors in Straight Outta Compton were excellent, but not necessarily better than any of the other candidates.

Oscars are the wrong battle for diversity, imo. The onus should be on expanding the number of minority headed and acted films in general, which will increase the probability of minority actors performing stand-out performances and being recognized by the awards.

Though better representation at the awards shows and other industry events might lead to more films by and with minorities.

What would you suggest they do to provide better representation?

Michael Jordan is a ****boy.

I would rather an actor be nominated because they deserve it instead of just doing so in order to fulfill some kind of racial requirement.

I did not find "Straight Outta Compton" to be bad. Did anyone give a performance that really resonated and will stay with me for a long time? Meh, no.

Surely you think he should be nominated, friend.

Will Smith's son.

There is no mandate that a certain number of minorities must get nominated every year. No one got obviously shafted. This is a non story of political correctness going overboard.

Have you heard of the actor Michael B Jordan?

He got shafted.

Not really. He wasn't even the best actor in the film.

Post of the year.

I find Jordan to be meh. I like Idris Alba better.
