Why is nobody stating the obvious? This isn’t a color issue, is a performance issue.

I have seen almost all of the Oscar nominated films this year, and I stand by the actors and actresses nominated.

To be fair, the people nominated all did terrific jobs with each of their given roles. I do not think this is race issue, I think it is a talent issue. Now, I’m not saying that persons of color are not talented, do not misinterpret my words, but I am saying that an award show nominates quality performances, and quite frankly, the best of the best. I keep seeing names being thrown into the mix, such as Will Smith’s performance in Concussion, and do not understand why people are making this a race issue, and not focusing on other issues out there. Yes, the glitz and the glam of Hollywood are intoxicating, and the Oscars are the cherry on top of all the glitz…but aside from the people who only watch the red carpet to see who’s wearing who, and the film nerds who watch the show and pine for their favorites to win…nobody really cares.

I am admittedly a film nerd, and I will watch the show and pine for my favorite to win, but I am also a person who cares to see a difference made in the world.

Boycotting the Oscars is not helping anything. Jada Smith should be using her B list celebrity status to boycott something else more meaningful, something that will actually make a difference….because she looks like an idiot.

Janet Hubert, aka Aunt Viv from Fresh Price, stated a valid and poignant message: “People are dying. Our boys are being shot left and right. People are starving. People are trying to pay bills.”

Couldn’t agree more Aunt Viv…I say we boycott Jada Smith and her less than stellar career track, because let’s be honest, an Oscar wont coming her way anytime soon, and it won’t be because of the boycott…it will be because she can’t act for shit and the only reason she is still relevant is because her husband is Will Smith.
