Best Actress, Best Direction, But Not Black Enough

I don't think it had anything to do with race. Moonlight is a better film and deserved to win.

I find it hard to believe that the movie tied with the most nominations ever somehow mysteriously did not manage to get the requisite amount of votes needed to win. It's clear that the Academy wanted to make a societal/political statement, and Moonlight ticked off all the right boxes for that.

It had nothing to do with race.

Moonlight won Best Pic over LLL at many award shows... LLL didnt even get nominated at times while Moonlight did

Annnd, there we are.

This is why affirmative action, quotas, etc. creates regressive conditions rather than progressive ones. Yikes. Just a sad state of affairs, this whole Oscars circus. Seems Best Picture in 2017 and onward now will have an asterisk by it, the humiliating and slightly hilarious meltdown at the end immortalized on YouTube forever lest anyone forget.

Go back into your alt-right bubble and stay there where you can pretend that you live in a world where White People - if not White Males - win all the prizes, get all the promotions, and are paid the most money, and where, if a minority person succeeds, it is because of "politics," "political correctness," or "reverse discrimination." Heil, tRump. You, and conservatism, make the world lousy.

Dude, that’s quite a hysterical word salad. Talk about living in a bubble! BTW, you never “used to be a liberal.” Whatever it was you were, it was not liberal, progressive, for equal rights, or anything resembling that. At Charlotte:

There was only one side who came with long guns, para-military gear, baseball bats, Nazi flags, and Confederate flags. Only one side gave the Nazi salute, chanted Make America White Again, Make America Great Again. Only one side watches Fox News. Only one side drove a car into a crowd and killed an innocent person. Only one side are Republicans. They are all the same side.

When Republicans say “liberals” (the word has come to mean only “NOT alt-right”) are demonizing anyone who disagrees with them, should remember that conservatives vote to tear families apart and deport the parents of American kids; they voted for private prisons to funnel black bodies and for civil rights abuses to go uninvestigated and unpunished; Republicans supported a serial adulterer who bragged about fucking other men’s wives and committing sexual assault. Republicans support failed economic policies (Reagan “trickle down”) whose only goals are to funnel the wealth of the nation to the wealthier and whiter. These are all policy positions championed by neo-Nazis, the alt-right, White Nationalists and any other brand of white supremacist. The Republican Party is riding the coattails of white supremacy to tap into racial, gender, and class rage.

You can contend that conservatism is something other than white supremacy, but you’d be wrong (or lying). You can vote Republican and vehemently insist you’re not a white supremacist, but you'd be wrong (or lying).

Don’t mistake the condemnation of conservatism as being a mere matter of disagreement. The failure of Republicans to grasp the cause of the scorn of patriots and decent people is dwarfed only by their failure as human beings.

And BTW, “Moonlight” was the best picture of the year and would have been even if the characters were green, blue…or white. It is universal.

I am so sick of people who needs to drag race\racism into every little thing.

Stone was great and it was well made. But I was surprised that the plot was rather predictable. 7/10. Then again, I'm not into musicals that much.

Hollywood and the Oscars are not controlled by whites.

The ludicrousness of it is to say the Oscars aren't black enough as if anglo-saxon protestants or any other European heritage group has any say in decisions in the awards show or studios.

I bet the Warren Beatty thing was staged too so both Lala Land producers and the token gay black winner could claim the limelight.
