Oscars Only Nominate One Black Actress In 2020 Diversity Snub

[Blankthawtz]

The 92nd Oscar nominations were announced this morning by Issa Rae and John Cho. As usual, countless Black actors and films were snubbed.

The only Black actor to receive an Oscar nomination was Cynthia Erivo for Harriet, where she played Harriet Tubman. There was no love for Jaime Foxx in his phenomenal role as a man on death row in Just Mercy. Lupita Nyong’o was snubbed, despite predictions, for her performance in Jordan Peele's Us. The legendary Eddie Murphy was ignored for his superb performance in Dolemite Is My Name. The critically acclaimed Queen and Slim was also shafted, which was expected considering director Melina Matsoukas called out the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which is part of the Golden Globes, for not attending the screenings -- the Golden Globes usually predict the Oscar nominations.

Looks like the Oscars is still so white.

Imagine being an heterosexual black man that cared about the Oscars.

I’ve heard a tremendous amount of criticism, all from black people, for every single movie listed.

And despite all that, why would we still expect to get an award just for showing up?

 

[Htrb-nvr-blk-&-ug-as-evr]

Of course some slave/gay/negative stereotype movie will get a black actor nominated...

but really, were there any breakout Black performances this year?

Edit: I’ll give Lupita credit for Us, doe

 

[Majestic]

Why is any reasonable thinking black person caring about the cacars in 2020?

 

[Sterling Archer]

This aint the hill to die on this year.

 

[UncleTomFord15]

Why don't whites love me man

 

[feelosofer]

Let's be reality outside of Us (And even that got mixed reviews) and Just Mercy. The coli for the most parted shytted on every Black movie that came out this year. Now you're concerned about awards for movies you didn't even care about.

I bet some going to try to boycott just like we did a couple of years ago huh. Jada Pinkett threw a bytch fit just because Will wasn’t nominated and told everyone to boycott the Oscars.
