The Controversy at the Oscars

This just popped up. He makes some good points! Good solution too.

Can't wait to see what Chris Rock has to say.

Why would anyone care about a youtube video that has <200 views

The NBA point is the perfect counter to this stupidity. You can't tell me Kobe Bryant got there on performance

Flogdom 101.

He seems to be making a fair point, but it doesn't look good at 2:02 when he places the statuette on his groin, makes it symbolic of a black erection.

I knew a guy who won an Oscar, Brian Ackland-Snow, he was one of most boring buggers alive, he was actually known as boring Brian. He died a few years ago but he used to vote in the academy, and I can't imagine what he thought made a good film, three hours of paint drying if his personality was any indication.

Leo is fine. Not great though.

One more thought to chew on would be maybe increasing the casting of minorities in major and minor roles, thereby automatically balancing the nominations. It's a system that def needs improvement.

Boo ****ing hop; I get paid $20M per movie, but I didn't win an award.

Absolute w***ers.
