Times are a-changing at the Academy Awards.
How?
Details below…
After its latest set of nominations saw it faced with claims that it had a bias against actors of colour the Oscar committee has joined forces to support Academy President Cheryl Boones as she released the following state moments ago:
The Academy is going to lead and not wait for the industry to catch up. These new measures regarding governance and voting will have an immediate impact and begin the process of significantly changing our membership composition.
What these changes are?
The film academy is pledging to double the number of female and minority members by 2020, and will immediately diversify its leadership by adding three new seats to its board of governors.
Other changes include limiting members’ voting status to a period of 10 years.

It was 2 years ago lol im over it i should tell my cousin about this site ki
Mr. Oscar is Gold, and he will continue to go to whomever deserves him most.
Plz! And what will 3 members do? They’re still outnumbered and very largely so. I don’t know why they think putting three new sits will solve anything. Scrap the whole board and put an equal number of both white and poc on the seats. It’d be cool seeing an Asian win once in a while.
How is that fair? White people make up 76% of the population. Get a grip.
No, we’re still moving on. It been over 80 years, a lot has happen in 80 years including the civil right moment. It took us to come together and say we’re not tuning in or showing up for them to make this change? Bye Oscar Weenier.
Comment deleted.
You need to fall alllll the way back Molly
Oh really sis? And why is that?
You know why sis!
We might be cool and all but I’m not going to sit around and remain silent while you call my people “bitter blacks”. Just because we are taking a stance against unfairness .
?
Exactly! Shut it DOWN
Honkey, exit this post while we still let u
^^@Aja^^
And? I’m still not tuning in. White America never wanted us at their award shows to begin with. That’s why we had to go out of our way to create the BET and Soul train Awards #OscarsSoWhite
B1tch please. Stop acting a like petulant child. You know damn well you weren’t going to tune in any way.
No duh, you f****** Hill Billy. Thats what I just said! I wasn’t going to watch it because its always been racially biased. Read before you comment Opie.
Not my comment being deleted ???? I spoke truth….
What you said wasn’t ignorant but just plain IGNANT #NoDisrespect
But you would be crying if I constntly called you a wet dog smelling white?? Aw ok
They’ll do anything to save their face…they’re a day late and a dollar too short right about now….it jus sounds like a guilt trip that drove them to this flakey ass decision!
Okay since that has been settled sort of let’s get to the main problem with Hollywood, making the gilms more diverse by adding not only just blacks but Asians, Latinos, Native Americans, Middle Easterns Etc.
Films.
How exactly will this guarantee fairness and diversity? They are making small changes to the voters, not the voting systems or the categories. And it seems false and forced…. they shouldn’t have needed public outrage for changes to take affect. I didn’t watch before, and I still won’t be watching.
Hun, are you gonna watch Toni’s Lifetime movie? You know, she has two diamond albums?
@CHILE. I can’t wait! I’ve been playing ‘Secrets’ and ‘The Heat’ so much lately, so i’m looking forward to seeing it. I’m also looking forward to seeing who plays Tamar, because apparently the actress did a good job mimicking her shadiness LOL
Yes! I watched the new episode of “Tamar & Vince” last night (OMG! I love the theme song. It’s so cute!) and I got my life from how she read her background singers. I’m so proud owner too because I had no idea she was headlining arenas now. I’m pissed as hell that she had to cancel the tour, though, because she overworked herself. Oh, and I’ve had “Let it Flow”, “Find Me a Man” and “Why Should I Care?” on constant repeat. Lol!
I know right, LMAO Tamar read those doo-wop-pop girls for filth! Thank goodness she recovered though, she’s been waiting for her moment to shine for 20 years and definitely overworked herself last year. I’ve been playing every Toni album on loop (it’s funny how I never noticed her sisters background vocals on the songs, until I watched Braxton family values).
Why are you apologizing if you don’t see the wrong in your actions? You can save it!
Yes, sis! But I just don’t like how she was reduced to a special guest on Kem’s Tour. I just couldn’t even fathom how the hell she’d allow herself to go from headlining arenas to performing alongside a man that only plays at theaters. It was disrespectful and last night’s episode pissed me the hell off with how her own damn label wanted to f*** her over with her stage. Why the hell should she have to put her own money into making the stage bigger for every damn show? That’s wrong, especially when she actually has a gold-certified album. Well, as long as she’s playing at arenas, I guess that’s allnthat matters. Oh, and good for her for being her authentic, animated self and STILL having a man that loves her to death and actually WANTS to come home to her every night! At the end of the day, she won and “SHE DID THAT!”
srry! My comment was meant for @Molly the Maid
It’s okay, hun! Do you and do you well and to the fullest.
Molly, with comments like that is the reason no one likes you on this blog. If someone feels that they’re being disrespected and decides to refuse to be so by not attending a show or supporting it, they have that right. That dosen’t make them bitter. Maybe if you apply that same self respect, you would be a peace with yourself, know your worth and wouldn’t be begging for acceptance on a random blog or in people’s DM’s.

It doesn’t just make them bitter. It makes them pathetic, whiny, hypocritical, self-absorbed children.
They’re very sensitive boo look at tyra ? p.s. im half black
I got native blood in me too. If anyone isn’t represented it’s Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans. How often do you see them spouting off all this hypocrisy? Since 2000, Black people have been VERY well represented at the Oscars when it comes to wins.
Exactly boo I think black people just want privilege. Asains, Hispanics, and other races should be the ones pissed.
@Molly the Maid
Ummm, I know you’re not trying to disrespect me….as many times as I’ve defending your Jar Jar Binks looking ass.
Besides, you cant blame the injustices that Asians, Latino’s, and Native Americans face on black people. We always take a stance. If other minorities want to see a change then they should start doing the same.
Im not gonna let your bitter ass try and check me for how I feel tho.. Im mixed i see shittt on both sides
What does you supposedly being biracial have to do with anything, you f****** Uncle Tom? That doesnt give you a pass. You started this s***. Yet, you’re going to have the audacity to come for me?
@Tyler I came for you? Last I checked you were in my reply section trying to check me..soo please kill it
B**** I’m Black! You made an offensive comment about black people.
If you insult my people, you’re insulting me too. I might be a lot of things but a sell out isnt one of them.
Apologize for offending you but i meant what i said. I didn’t come in this post like oh yay lets offend tyler today
Why are you apologizing if you don’t see the wrong in your actions? You can save it
Yall mad oh well… ✌
Lmao tyra have a seat sis and keep that attitude in check thanks.
I can’t call black people bitter but its ok for Ms.Tyra to call white people honkeys? Oh ok..
People are so salty.
If people don’t meet the criteria, then they shouldn’t be nominated.
–
It’s like the quota system in sport. If your performance isn’t good enough, then you shouldn’t make the team.
.
Oh, and will Smith acts the same in ALL his movies. #Overated.
Why is Tyra so pressed? Does he not know beyonce is white and wins all these “white” awards.
He’s a hypocrite sis… Don’t get mad at me for calling black people bitter then turn around and call someone a honkey like girl.
I’ll call you honkey all day long. Give me b****, and I’ll give you b****. YOU made this a race issue. Thats exactly why your comment was deleted to begin with ya big dummy.
??? you’re a wack hoeee keep crying over my iconic comments ugly
Go run in traffic.
The power of black people as a unit!!!!! Yes!!!! Stay mad, white people!!!
Stay mad at what? You realize that people will now question any Black nominations going forward? People will always think “did they really deserve it, or is the Academy just worried about coming off racist?”
Black people are only shooting themselves in the foot with all this foolishness.
But, babe, don’t you see the bigger picture? The Academy is FINALLY shaking in their boots over the inclusion of diversity, like they should’ve been a long time ago. Also, while you’re talking about questioning nominations, do you think that it’s fair for J. Law to be receiving those endless nominations even though she doesn’t deserve them and her performances are far from worthy? I really want to know. I still won’t be watching the awards show anyway.
JLaw doesn’t deserve sh1t, that’s one thing I can agree on.
And I I biggest kii when the same commenters in here crying about the Oscars are the same people who make fun of the BET and soul train awards.
–
So you want “white approval” at the Oscars and joke at “the historic value of BET” but now when no blacks are in major catagories at the Oscars, you are all about the bet’s ect?
–
Stfu
All these hypocritical whiny kids coming on here and b1tching make Black people look like a joke. So you will ONLY watch an awards show dedicated to celebrating an art form if someone with your shade of skin color gets nominated? Even if they don’t deserve a nomination (like this year)?
That’s some of the most dishonest bull5h1t I’ve ever read. You don’t want equality, you want the affirmative action Awards. The Oscars are prestigious because they’re given to the most talented not to the person with the darkest skin tone or most oppressed history.
Screaming! – “they’re given to the most talented not to the person with the darkest skin tone or most oppressed history.”
For a place like America to be so diverse but yet the entertainment industry is mostly comprised of white. No one is saying that the movies being nominated don’t deserve their shine, what they are saying is that a lot of POC oriented cast or movies have been snubbed or totally looked over for films like The big short or The Martian.
@Molly, hun, which parent of yours is black and which is white? I believe you’re biracial, though, and I don’t think I’ve ever asked you this before. Thanks, sis!
My mom is white and my dad is black
That’s cute. I think interracial relationships are for extremely mature and self-secure people because it usually brings about alot of issues with both parties. I’m sure your parents were very much in love. I like that. Thanks, babe!
You’re everything and you never try and put me down like others im supposed to be cool with.
Awww! Thanks, hun! Honestly, as long as you and Annalise are still on good terms, then that’s all you and I should care about. I try to be fair with everyone, but like I said awhile back, being nice won’t get me or anyone on this site (and in the real world) anywhere. I’m tired of holding my damn tongue. F*** being the nicest commentator. I got some s*** that I need to say. State what you believe, Molly, and don’t fold or change. Afterall, Legendriah had the same issues you faced and she had to persevere through the b******* (even as a child) to become the best and make the others lessors (except for the other legends around her time).
What imbecile compares the academy awards to sports? The majority of sports can be judged on an objective level, however judging acting talent is 100% subjective. If someone wins a race fair and square they receive the appropriate medal, however countless ethnic actors give outstanding performances and never get the recognition they deserve.
I completely disagree. Acting is very much objective. There expressions, subtle nuances, that lovers of cinema find in truly good acting. Just like athletes need physical prowess, actors need control over their voice, tone, movements, facial tics, and a million other intricacies that allow them to transform.
@tyler baby tell me why its ok for you to call whites honkeys but i can’t call blacks bitter?
I called whites honkys in retaliation to your comment, which got DELETED.
AND in addition to what AJA said…which was also deleted stupid b****.
Nothing I say could ever compared to 375 years racism, injustice, and captivity. So stop it!
You act like you were a s**** boo stop it..
so what! Black people experience the affects of slavery everyday. We have to go as far as threatening to boycott the Oscars just to get nominated for a major category. So no, you stop it
None of which you have personally faced you drama queen.
You dont know what I’ve faced. So mind your own muthafuckin business you cross burning white cloak wearing p****.
Annalise queen am I wrong? be honest.
In my personal own opinion, this will change nothing. And you definitely know Will Smith won’t be nominated for a long while now, probably never now.
And I feel sorry for next years winners because they won’t have won for talent they’ll have won to just shut the black people up.
You guys see the interview Mo’Nique did on the Big Tigger Show? http://youtu.be/O7z2NnXLqns
Yes you are @Molly, and I DON’T want to dicuss it
I’m done with Molly.
She’s lucky that we’ve never meant because if ever given the opportunity I’d rip her muthafuckin self hating face off.
Your done why because im not gonna let you punk me?
Because you’re acting like some docile house negro. Thats shits really starting p*** me off. Its also part of the reason why we never got along in the 1st place. I tried to put all else aside but its obviously not working
This is the 2nd time your ass has got slick with me recently
Anyways im over this discussion.. Tyler you can be upset all you want hell I wasnt even trying to argue with you but im not gonna sit here and let you try and check me for how i feel. Hopefully tomorrow your panties won’t be all up in a bunch and we’ll be able to get past this we’ve had worst fights
bye b****
Bye tyra girl ???? get some rest boo
Did you conveniently forget the fact that I’m the one who gave you the nick name “Molly the Maid”? kiii
Take several seats and try to create a life, thats if you can find one.
Death you want an award for that babe?
skip your scare crow looking ass on out of my reply section.
But you came into my reply section first tyra
You maid this a race issue first..
Molly the maid?

This I an example of what OMG LOGIC has been saying.
Blacks throw each other under the buss if they don’t agree with each other.
–
You scream: sell out, house nÃggah, s****, self hater
Just because the person is coming from an unbiased view point
Thank you!
How are you going to talk about “blacks throwing blacks under the bus” when your are cosigning Molly and OMG Logic of all people? Are you smoking bath salts? They’re both White Supremacist.
@Annalise, I TOLD you Molly would show her true colors, but y’all stay not listening to me. But I’m sure she’ll just apologize and everything will be alright huh? The hypocrisy of it all.
@ me bÃtch.

Been living in Cape Town SA since 2014 & , quota system used here are SPECIFICALLY for Rugby a Cricket.

Stfu, for a smart åss, you really know nothing about the world outside of drag queen scene in which you belong.
And y’all biggest issue was with RihNavy when all along the major problem has been the self-hating, flip-flopping internet fave that y’all call Molly. Y’all ALLLL owe RihNavy an apology (except for Mark & LB) tbh
Oh I knew that thing was as fake and made up as The Pink Print 3X Platinum plaque. I recall time she would mock Aaliyah’s death because I gave an opinion about Ciara flop at the time. She soon right after said sorry, went back to dissing and then said sorry again. She want to fit in and the pest needed numbers to hate on Rihanna. They both lose, Molly for even discarding Ciara to join the pest and the pest for letting their hate for Rihanna cloud their minds to the point that they needed Ciara’s fan to stand a chance. lol
Do I owe Rih Navy an apology? If so, why when he/she’s been trolling me to dislike Annalise from day one? Shoot, I need an apology too.
Well, I appreciate the idea of them doing SOMETHING. I think more importantly, they need to open their minds to more indie movies because that is where the diversity is.
I personally think the Academy Awards are like the Grammys in that the award goes to the person willing to make the bigger payout, but hey… What do I know?
Death @ Molly getting dragged AS USUAL???
Molly has spoken nothing but truth. In what world is that being dragged?
It’s cute. all molly did was see it through the eyes of the person that isn’t bitter and her “friends” take dumps on her.
Change your avi pic! You have 24 hours.
Im not even mad at him I even acknowledge that if i offended him i apologize
The fact that she has friends on the Internet is the problem in the first place, but less of a problem than you sending Stephon nudes
*claps hands*
@OMG No Logic
.
Then Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans need to speak up. Everytime Blacks take a stand, the others want to cry about them. Then take a stand, it’s lack of diversity, no one said lack of Blacks.
.
And another thing, Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans are not a huge market, so at the end of the day it’s about numbers. There been Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans music artist and actors that people did not take into. The audience is not there because they’re such a low numbers. But Black entertainment are the best of the best, our shows are high in ratings, our movies are doing numbers and we attract from other groups, same with Whites. Fresh Off The Boat is doing great, the Asians will get there.
With all that said, we as African Americans, are just as upset when Native Americans are being acted by Whites. Most of us have Native blood in us and we ALL know why there numbers are so small. Like I said, if we don’t want to support, then we don’t. Because why? Because at the end of the day, it’s about the numbers. We’ll see the Oscars with low rating this year, bets believe it.
@King, don’t waste your royal breath on those that Stan for flops
I stan for Queen Mariah and no one stands above her, so your fave is the only flop here @Rima’s Assistant.
Rihanna passed her up in record sales last year. So yea, #1’s record is soon to come.
Hispanics are a larger market than Blacks lol… 17% vs 13%. Child don’t try me when it comes to facts and numbers. You’ll lose every time.
The rest of your post hits the nail on the head. The reason the majority of roles go towards Whites is because 76% of the US population is White and connects more with White actors.
But most are not citizens and (again with numbers) most don’t go to the movies, tune into tv shows, buy music and so on. If that was the case, Latin music would be HUGE, but it not in the US. Not since the late 90s anyway. The key word is “audience”.
Also, kiiii @TheElusiveLamb making a mysterious reappearance in the Mariah Engagemeny post. That flop
“Change your avi pic! You have 24 hours.”
Kiiiiiiiii okay daddy ??????? FOH!
Y’all’s first problem is getting “close” to people on the Internet that you’ve never even seen. Like…wyd babes? Y’all gon learn one of these days.

I actually agree with this…where is the lie?
Not Annalise, Tyler & Molly running out of this post as soon as I confront them about RihNavy. Y’all did her SOOOO dirty and “disowned” her but let Molly do this racist ish and y’all wanna put up with it?
Lying is a sin!
F*** Molly and RihNavy as far as Im concerned
Lmao thats how u really feel tyra?
Look, I said what I had to say.
You took to another level when you started cosigning OMG the Ku Klux Klansman.
Molly is in hot water because of her comment. Words mean things and we you say “bitter Blacks”, it’s generalizing people. There are Blacks that disagree with this subject, but no one is dissing them because they didn’t type such a stupid comment. And I don’t even know what the 2nd comment was, but it had to been bad if it was deleted. Smolly always throwing rocks, but cry when her glass house shatters. Don’t diss the ONLY small audience that Ciara have left. (and yes I said HAD LEFT. Because if you think the Whites that don’t even claim you and keep Molly in her room when they have guest to hide her, the numbers disagree.)
Her comment was DEPLORABLE…I mean…we’ve all said some f*cked up s*** but she crossed the line.
& the real kiiii is, even though RihNavy has been gone for almost a year. I’m sure she still has love for you @Tyler but she’s really hurt.
And you…@Annalise, the things you say and THE WAY you’ve said them about & TO RihNavy aka BGKC…you have NOOOO room to talk about ANYONE having racist views when you’ve said some of the most offensive things on this blog and had your comments deleted by David, SEVERAL times. Have a seat in some battery acid.
No lies. From calling me every derogatory name or phrase you can say to an Asian.
–
But let’s not make it all about me, (me me me me me).
–
Look at how they are racist to S****** blonde and arianator barb.
–
But if anyone throws the same type of tea back, there’s a problem?
@Matt, I may say s*** about your nudes etc. but I actually respect you a lot babes and think you’re fine as hell and honestly respect you for standing your ground. Never mind Annalise, she’s just mad because she lives a fake life
Lol I don’t take it personally. I mean, I do like to talk a lot of shìt about the celebs but I am educated and will show it when needed.
–
I was a bit slaggy when I first came here, so I don’t know If I honestly did you did not send those nudes
Lmao what Is this about me sending nudes though? Receipts?
Stephy already exposed your ass on Twitter. Don’t play dumb.
Lol no, h was sayin s*** because I have dissing o of his faves
@Matt….mmmhhhmmm ?
@Molly is basically the new KeriQween tbh
No, me and KeriKween got along great. I miss her to be real.
In the last decade, Jennifer Hudson, Mo’Nique, Octavia Spencer, Lupita Nyong’o, and 12 Years a S**** won Oscars. I do not believe there is a systemic pattern of discrimination with respect to the Oscars, especially in a progressive place like Hollywood. Who here can name any specific movies you know for sure should have ranked in the top 5 of all the thousands of movies released in 2015? Folks need to stop overplaying the race card.
.
Having said that, I’m neither for nor against the changes that were made. I think diversity is always a good thing, but I’m not looking for affirmative action nominations. The Oscar winners listed at the beginning of this post truly deserved to win.
If anyone got snubbed this year it was Carol for Best Picture.
The real kiiiii is that, we all drag each other’s faves but I actually have to say it’s refreshing to see us all gather each other’s hair follicles about issues that actually matter. These conversations (regardless of opinion are SOOOOOO important).
“White Supremacist.”
Tyler girl no
But where is the lie? You constantly diss black people and now you try to refute his point?
@OMG Logic when did I ask for you to jump into my reply box? That’s right. I didn’t FALLL the fck back
I wasn’t aware this was your blog b1tch. I can jump wherever, whenever I want.
@Tyra, you may not like RihNavy & I may not like you but I will always admit when RIGHT is RIGHT! And you are gathering Molly up and DOWN this post. Notice how she can’t refute anything you say with legitimate facts? Because she’s ignorant.
*@Tyler
@Molly the Maid @OMG @CL
This EPIC dragging is a sign. God is tryna tell you to keep your legs closed and your esophagus’s shut.
Please don’t use the Lord’s name while using such foul language. It’s offensive to me.
@RihNavy
I SAID, WHAT I SAID.
*@Rima’s Assistant
@Molly, I’m reporting you to the FBI for your comment. I’m legitimately sick to my stomach.
I’ve been thinking of reporting Molly to the FBI as well as he has continued to endanger my account name on here with telling lies saying that I was behind that Beyonce incident online. I will be gathering up ALL the receipts on here of Molly talking ill of Aaliyah’s death and other people and will be sending it to her brother and the FBI to handle it if I am mentioned in such lies again, as I have done before with somebody on twitter.
–
I’m extremely annoyed by this bigot and troll altogether!
I also want to know why it’s expected from “whites” to share their grammys, charts Oscars, MTV awards and such when there are people CRYING on this site daily about how hip hop is only meant for blacks ect.
Explain why you want to keep “your culture” to yourselves but yearn for validation by the white public?
All we want is fairness!
Is that too f****** much to ask for? The reason why there’s BET, TvOne, SoulTrain, Telemundo, Latin Grammy’s, and etc is because people of color were excluded from White Networks in first place. Oh, or did you conveniently seem to forget that?
Instead of questioning black people, you need to be questioning the system.
Back the f uck up chica. Hispanics don’t lump themselves with a bunch of crybabies. They have Telemundo because they wanted a channel in the Spanish language.
B****, who tf are you calling chica, gringo? Dont tell me how to f****** feel. Im of Dominican AND African American heritage. I’m hispanic! Latino’s are more underrepresented than blacks.
White people always have to act like they know every muthafucking thing. Stay in your lane.
It’s not theirs, it’s not called the Award for White People, it’s called the grammys, oscars, Music Video Award. So if you giving awards for the best of the best, then that what it should be. Award shows is not a culture. But then again, you hate your own eyes, so the self hate is real.
I really can’t @ this post. Kii.
who watches the oscars anyway? 😀
yo… want more black over white? lol. grey? trophys tho… neh? 😉
Can someone please explain to me why their are commenter on this post arguing as if they ACTUALLY know eachother?
Are you fuqing serious right now?
Most have ya’ll wouldn’t know hit about any of these people outside of TGJ and Twitter perhaps and ya’ll are here bickering.
LMAO.
Ya’ll really have no fuqing lives.
@Molly… Don’t pay attention to these trashy ghetto fağž… none of them don’t know you so their words are BS. Do you sis…
KIII @The comments in this post!!
DEATH @These scared ass bitxhes running to the FBI hahaha I CAN NOT DEAL!!!! Mothafuckas want to take part in these internet battles than cry wolf when they cant deal LMAO!!
@Molly gurrrrl first Career Ender now Tyler?? Huntea what is you doing!? Also you always cosigning with the enemy! This is why i gave my 2 cents during your fight with Career Ender. You was cosigning with LB n Markiesha. I have no problem you and i dont know what you wrote. But it must have been pretty bad, considering it got deleted.
This post is such a KIII.
This means nothing. If all you have is a handful of minorities to begin with, doubling that number won’t do anything to balance out the hundreds and hundreds of whites who vote every year.
