what black actors this year even deserved an oscar nominee?

[Anerdyblackguy]

the only performance that stands out from this whole year is samuel jackson in the hateful 8

is there something i'm missing or is this lightweight embarrassing

i could see voicing your disdain if there were actual snubs, but all this is really stemming from a perceived snub of will smith for his performance in concussion holy fukk it's annoying when nikkas discredit the rest of black people for their own personal interests

black film really needs to catch up to black music, because we're being shytted on

you have marlon wayans or kevin hart or tyler perry with dumb c00n shyt
or bullshyt like dope and straight outta compton (yes i said it, shyt was )

if you think i'm wrong tell me why

The fact that you left out the two best reviewed movies from black actors ( Beast of No Nation, and Creed) shows your statement and argument shouldn't be respected.

Creed was a great movie. Michael b Jordan was great in it.

But in all seriousness I'm not about to argue with someone who questions the acting talent of Leonardo dicaprio and brad Pitt

I swear nikkas just love being different on here

Creed wasn't even as good as the old rocky movies and those weren't close to any oscar winning performances

just because a film is entertaining doesn't mean the performances are oscar worty

Leonardo Dicaprio is a decent actor, he doesn't have any range, he's better than Brad Pitt who is terrible but always got a pass

you can't name one movie where dicaprio did exceptional work, you just can't

I think the snub that most people are mad at is the fact that there could have been 10 best picture noms but they only chose 8 excluding Creed and SOC which in a lot of peoples minds deserved the nom.

To play devils advocate Carol didn't get a best picture nom but got tons of other noms.

Straight outta Compton getting a screen writing nod is a joke.

Crees should have gotten a nod but word is that warner bros dropped the ball not knowing they had an awards contender and sent screeners late and didn't really throw those academy screenings. They spent their $$ pushing black mass and it backfired

Sam Jackson. The rest were as disposable as Cranston, McAdams, or the rest of the questionable nominees.

 

[Adidacs]

Why are you comparing a woman to a man?
And do you just hate boxing movies? I've never heard someone say that before

because they both didn't get nominated

To me its not that a specific performance or movie was snubbed. Its that the Academy likes to prop up certain "types" of movies that black actors are never prominently shown in. We know that unless its some type of biopic or stereotypical role they wont feature black actors. And said biopics have to make white people feel good about themselves to get awards. Thats why you don't see movies like Malcolm X or Selma winning anything.

The point is that the types of independent/Artsy movies that generally get awards dont normally feature black actors in prominent roles. So I can understand how being part of the business yet never even having access to the possibility of getting these awards would make someone angry. Of course they should've been woke to this a long time ago, which Im sure most are but were still happy as long as the checks were coming. But when you're completely shut out 2 years in a row it becomes too hard to ignore .

Idris Elba as an African in "Beasts of No Nation" > Will Smith as an African in "Concussion"

his point still stands...its only two movies (has a straight to Netflix joint been nominated?).

These actors are pulling their weight on the dumbest subject.
Like....these are millionaires...all these black rich people couldnt come together for something that matters?
Nikkas really mad because white people didnt like their movies?

Thats kind of pathetic really.
