its probably Hollywood as a whole not just the Oscars...I dont like Chris Rock his humour doesnt do it for me...and the way he stares at his cue board annoys me even more...but having said that the Oscars are a place for controversy arent they???..

its one way of getting an audience.....

i dont know about you but I would say 90% of viewers havent even seen the Pictures nominated....

Sly Stallone best Supporting actor....REALLY?..

I have only ever seen him play SLy Stallone.

The blacks = a handful of attention-starved dolts. Don't give them what they crave.

I like Chris Rock - I think he's a real talent. It also takes a lot of guts to put yourself forward to host a big occasion like the Oscars. I'm definitely a fan of his, but it's disappointing he's jumped onto the bandwagon of the "We wuz robbed 'cuzz we's just n*ggers!" whinge.

That's certainly true of me.

That one threw me for a loop, too.

The poor bugger is so bloated with steroids and uppers-and-downers, booze and 'coke' he looks like a Michelin Man travesty of his former self during his days of glory.

People are raving about the movie 'The Revenance' with ... with ... forgotten his name.

I've read the article and can't find any call for "quotas". Are you lying again Herbert?

The criticism was actually based on merit

Quote:

as an avalanche of criticism is levelled at the Academy for the lack of diversity among this year's nominees.

Many have questioned why a number of black actors who were expected to get nods were snubbed including Idris Elba, who earned critical acclaim for his role in Beasts of No Nation, Will Smith in NFL drama Concussion, and Michael B. Jordan for his portrayal of a young boxer in the Rocky sequel Creed.

It has been suggested that the fact Sylvester Stallone was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Creed but Michael was not, is indicative of the whitewashed nominations.

Sylvester Stallone got a nomination? Did he have subtitles?

He was very good at playing the character of a retired boxer. Who did you friggin expect to do that role - some Shakespearean stage actor? Also he's in better shape than most men half his age, so I'm not sure what he's supposed to be ashamed of.

The moment they mentioned race and colour as central to their whinging - that's when they negated any such claim that it was solely based upon talent.

It was an own-gaol.

They shot themselves in the foot and destroyed their credibility as judging from a dispassionate and non-racist viewpoint.

No I'm quite happy being in shape at 34, but if I can get TRT and HGH when I get older, you best believe I'd take em. There's no point looking and feeling like poo if you don't have to. Do you also sneer at shielas who have HRT at menopause?

Whooaaaaaaah! - I've never heard of him. I had to look that up.

So you're saying he can put his slippers next to your bed anytime he's passing through your neighbourhood, codsey? Cool
