That's what Spike Lee says.
So he's going to boycott.

Maybe he doesn't win because 98.2% of his movies suck and are basically the same premise over and over.

That.
And the fact that he's black.

And according to him, the Academy is "Lily White".

Maybe Spike Lee is racist...

True story: In 1996 I was in a Snapple commercial directed by Spike Lee...

I was shocked that "Straight Out Of Compton" didn't receive more nominations. It was such a great movie. It told a very powerful story.

"The Revenant" is such a magnificent movie that it deserves to win everything it's up for.

Snapple?
Or skittles and Iced Tea?

Spike is racist. Remember he said when he would see a interracial couple (white and black)... he would stare at them with "visual daggers" so they will feel uncomfortable.

Maybe he will do a Kanye West and crash the awards ceremony stage.

All indications are they they are racist.

Is is that that so so?

Here's a big list of indications you're wrong:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_black_Academy_Award_winners_and_nominees 

I agree that the Academy Awards are racist.................. unlike the BET awards.


[sarcasm]

In all honesty, I find that your comments over time have painted you as a decidedly racist person.
I don't suggest you hate or even dislike persons of color. Simply that you look for color first, then decide how you will respond.
Perhaps the proper term isn't "racist", but you certainly are racially motivated.


Now, do you honestly feel that the Academy picks and chooses nominations based on skin color?
It's time we stop blaming race on anything perceived as negative.
I guess if Alfred Hitchcock were black he could blame racism for never winning best picture or even best director.

It's time for America to pull up their big boy pants and stop blaming OTHER people when they're not chosen for an award. Lest we degenerate to a nation of "participation" trophies for all.


Hey spike lee: sometimes the suck is simply YOU.

spike lee has made some very good movie's...

my guess is that funding them, getting publicity and
getting in the bigtime theatre chains has been a tough road to hoe for him....

he doesn't get many breaks at all....

that being said...

no way is he a racist....
but...
HE IS ONE PREJUDICED MOFO....

"Making films has to be one of the hardest endeavors known to humankind"

And Spike Lee is on that list 3 times. Two nominations, one award.

Everyone's a racist, just not everyone admits it.

I think in order to not be a racist, blindness and deafness from birth would be a prerequisite.

Doesn't just stop at race, fatties, midgets, chicks with too many moles (thanks cable guy), punks, goths, nerds, jocks, dweebs, etc....

There's a reason why we're the dominant species on this planet..., and it's not because we're all a bunch of tree hugging hippies. If that were the case, the lions, tigers and bears would have took us out thousands of years ago.


Oh... back to the original topic...

Academy Awards can't be racist,it's just an event put on by racist humans 🙂

lol, I need to change my name to "Thread Killer".

friggin' hypocrites.
Wonder how many Caucasians are nominated for the BET Awards.
Oh that's right… that's different and doesn't count.

Make a decent movie… then you will get nominated.
Or are you expecting a "participation award"?

Eminem won a BET award once (just looked it up on Wikipedia lol).

Surprised people didn't riot over that one.

I think the B should be investigated for its actual meaning and if the Academy is white only maybe they should say so.
