The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences

87th Annual award show did not disappoint again. The show was once again the “white Hollywood” show. Looking out at the audience I saw the fields of lilies with the sprinkles of black-eyed Susan. Mr. Neil Patrick Harris carried the show and gave a show that I would imagine was difficult for a mere mortal like myself.
According to the U.S. Census white American population is becoming the minority. With more interactional marriages and “immigrants” [they were here before anyone] there was no fair representation of this last night at the AMPAS.
There have been plenty of movies that are geared towards communities that audience love and was well received, but the AMPAS for whatever reason do not recognize, ever. I guess this where the independent film comes in. None the less it is getting more obvious of the segregation in this industry. There is a category for Best Foreign Language Film, how will I know for sure it was a good film? Foreign language &*@%$^, here’s a foreign language for you.
There is a Black female president [Cheryl Boone Isaacs] of the AMPAS which should soften the blow of blatant discrimination at this point who cares.
…”In the last two years, we've made greater strides than we ever have in the past toward becoming a more diverse and inclusive organization through admitting new members and more inclusive classes of members. And, personally, I would love to see and look forward to see a greater cultural diversity among all our nominees in all of our categories." [Cheryl Boone Isaacs] http://perezhilton.com
It is, I guess hard to break habits or break with traditions when you've been at it for so many years. It is about time before the world will shames you we need to do better.
SELMA, THE THEORY OF EVERYTING, BIRDMAN, AMERICAN SNIPER, BOYHOOD, WHIPLASH [KUDOS] by the way did anyone see the movie WHIPLASH?
