what black actors this year even deserved an oscar nominee?

[jilla82]

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 .

bro then how come they dont come together to make those types of movies?

Why are we still begging for shyt?
You have a group of people that are more than capable to make a very good indie black movie...yet they would rather complain and beg white people to like them.

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.

The answer to your first question is yes. Netflix movies to be nominated for a Oscar are as followed:

1) winter on fire
2) The Square
3) What happened miss Simone ( Nina Simone)

Now about your statement about fighting for something else that matters, you act like these people are limited to just fighting for Oscars only? These same black actors also advocate for other causes.

Examples
1) Idris Elba: getting more black politicians involved in America and Britain
2) Will and Jada smith: More investment in education.

You act like these black actors can't walk and chew gum at the same time.

You clearly have a problem with black people

SOC was a generic music biopic we've seen countless times before. Entertaining flick but I fail to see how it's Oscar worthy.

Don't deny that the academy "leans" towards certain movies (and demos) but the fact that they overlooked a movie like SOC is not some huge injustice.

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

The original Rocky was nominated for ten fukking Oscars and won three of em, you dolt

This like the 5th thread about the oscars

The dialog is already working y'all...

we gon make it, we gon make it

fukk the Oscars, we don't need any cac validation. I never watch or care about that shyt, and no one here should either.

No black actor deserved a nomination, tbh. No one should be complaining about this dumb show, nor give it any attention. People just don't learn smh

Idris Elba and that young kid from Beast Of No Nation.

that was a netflix Movie

Nah they released it in select theaters before netflix just so it would have the opportunities for oscars, if I'm not mistaken.

Let's say Idris deserved a nod and maybe SOC over Brooklyn.
So did Ridley scott, so did Ex Machina, so did Johnny Deep etc.
Ppl are getting snubbed every year
Ppl should get heated for shyt that actually matters not the fukking oscars

Why can't they voice there concerns on both.

What do you think the academy will do? They will probably nominate some black actors next year (one of the will probably win)
This type of patronising would feel embarrassing to me
Chris Rock talking shyt about the oscars when he is hosting the damn thing is just

I mean its its a tricky thing imo. I agree with you in that, fuk the oscar's approval. But, its hard for me to get mad at jada for trying to do wut she thinks is right. If I were a black actor I wouldn't go.
If they don't love us then fukk em.

1. Welcome to the coli

2. My whole post was a joke. I just don't always use smilies

3. You keep up with the oscars enough to know who was nominated...unless you're just basing the fact that no black actor deserved a nomination on I don't what.

we still watch movies in 2016 ;heh:

Abraham Attah should have won Best Actor while Idris gets nominated for Best Supporting Actor but doesn't win IMO
