Black People in only two categories the Oscars are so white like I cant. 1. Gaga had no business being nominated for that boring ass flop song over See You Again. 2. Rihanna Home was completely snubbed. 3. Straight Outta Compton deserved more than one nomination
4. Do y’all know half of these movies?
Lls after Taraji cutting up at the Golden Globes they weren’t having it. J/k.
heeeeyy!!!!!! heeeeey! I thought Meek told the judge he was getting a oscar nomination hehehehehe
Yes yes yes!!! Seething ass hater bishes tried to call me out when I said Gaga could do a trifecta of Golden Globe, Grammy and Oscar in the same year. Let the seething commence!! Slay queen!!!!
Lady gaga is about to become an Oscar winner
No way with Samantha
This mess of a show! Who cares who wins what? It’s not like they are giving us anything from it but a speech!
These noms are shitt¥… Watch Leo walks away empty handed AGAIN. Poor thing can’t catch a break, even going as far as getting r**** by a bear… Chile!
He merits these win.. he’s been allover the place these season
If Kaka wins an Oscar before Leo ill scream
That´s an absurd comparison. She would do it for music.
This is BS! Will definitely deserves a nomination for Concussion… The whitest Oscars I’ve seen in a min… #menditmoses
Never cared for the Oscars. Every year, the same type of films get not, the same 10 actors get nom. It’s really just promotion for films that no one would watch outside of January and February. Because that’s the only time these films makes money. But I did like Mad Max tho. Tom Hardy…
Oop, look at you getting WET for Tom Hardy “bottom tea’s” lol. Yes biitch, you better fly out of that closet!
I’m not even American – I’m Black British – but I’m absolutely SICK TO DEATH of my African American cousins not getting the recognition they deserve in the film industry and don’t even get me started on Black English actors.
Something tells me that the academy knew there would hardly be any Black nominees this year which is why they got Chris Rock to compensate as he token. SMFH.
Isn’t the president of the academy Black? WTF is she doing? I know she might be feeling pressure from her middle aged white male peers but damn… NOT ONE non-white actor nominated at all. Outside of star wars, straight outta Compton was the biggest movie on this list and they just paid it dust!!! FUQ THE ACADEMY.
Please shut up… they better move them selves and make great movies… 12 years a s**** carried them nods none of u talk of no Asian havin a nod please!
Now If Matt Damon gets an Oscar before Leo which I think but I’m not for sure that he has an Oscar already. Anywho like I said if Matt gets it, then Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp should reteam together for a Whatever happen to Gilbert Grape part 2 because this don’t make no damn sense. Leo might or might not get it, and Johnny Depp got completely snubb for Black Mass. Well we’ll just have to see when the Academy Awards come on. SMH
“You prejis ma?” I loved Gilbert Grape lol.
Great nominations overall. I´m just so glad the modern masterpiece that is Mad Max Fury Road ended being as recognized as it is being by the serious awards ahows and critics. Not to be expected months ago. But it made it! So deserving and refreshing for award season.
The most random nominations are probably the Kate Winslet, the Jennifer Lawrence and the Matt Damon ones. Not that deserved. If they were willing to give these 3 a nomination then they should have also gone with Charlize Theron in Mad Max, who at least was in a better film and became the sta of it.
Gaga is killing it critical acclaim wise. So deserving too.
Hate to say it BUT we can talk until we loose our breathe; ONE OF THOSE A LIST BLACK ACTORS WILL NEED TO BE THE MARTIN LUTHER KING OF THEIR CRAFT!!!!!!!!!!
Stand up Black Hollywood; being quite hasn’t got you NO WHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
