Was Jamie Foxx serious complaining about not getting a nomination for Django?

He was fine in the role but :comeon: it's not that hard to play the cold, quiet guy. Leo and Waltz deserved the golden globe nominations, Samuel L could get a nod too


fukk this nikka crying racism for, and that goes for Kerry Washington also, she just screamed and cried but that's it

Leo did a GREAT job. I swear at one point i forgot it was even him.

But on topic....Jamie needs to quit winning. Thats tacky.

I think his performance is underrated. But quiet roles are almost always overshadowed by much more unique and "showier" roles...like almost everyone else in the film.

The daydream scenes are where he really shone, but the story didn't give his character a ton to work with.

One of several reasons I wish this movie was split in 2. I think some more backstory, on MANY of the characters, would have been incredibly interesting.

same shyt I was thinking t myself yesterday. There was nothing about his performance that screams Oscar nod. Same for Kerry Washington. They did great for the role they had, but they weren't touching Leo, Waltz nor Jackson's performances. To be honest, Jackson stole the show, but at the same time, I don't want him to win an Oscar playing the goat c00n in pop culture.

It's more I think the subliminal message that it was a Slave Movie and only the White Actors are getting praise for their performances. Let's not sit up here and act like Hollywood loves to nominate Black Actors cause they don't. Normally it's about 1 a year if we are lucky. This year it's Denzel who is an easy choice for the Oscar but he probably won't win. Hollywood Racism is still alive and well when it comes to award shows like the Oscars and Golden Globes.

Jamie did win an Oscar and Golden Globe but he's right to accent the fact that again Hollywood does not value Black Performances cause they don't. Look at "What's Love Got To Do With It". How did Angela Basset and Lawrence NOT win that award? But instead Halle had to f*ck Billy Bob to win in a role Angela turned down cause of that scene, the irony. Denzel had to be a Dirty Cop. Monique had to be a dead beat mother. Forrest had to be a African Killer Psychopath. I mean most of the roles we win for we have to play terrible human beings.

:what: Slaves dont get nominations though. He already copped one. Let Leo Donetakeyahoe :eat:

False:

Denzel Washington Best Supporting Actor Win: Glory.



Well he was a freed Slave fighting in the military against the confederate but still. Also Haddie McDonald won the 1st Black Oscar playing a made and Octavia won one last year playing a Maid. Whoopie won one playing a Loud Mouth Psychic. Cuba won playing an arrogant loud athlete. Here is the full list of Oscar nominations for Black Artist. No Black Person as every won the Oscar for Original Screenplay and Director. Only 1 woman has won Best Actress that was Black. Only 4 Black men have won Best Actor (Sydney, Forrest, Denzel and Jamie Foxx):
