[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does it have to be multi-racial? What if the only amazing performances were white this year? Should they pick some ethnic actors just to round out cast? I guess I just don't know what people expect.[/quote] Actors are not the only people to get Academy Awards -- there are numerous categories. How is it that "Creed" got tons of critical acclaim, Sylvester Stallone was nominated for an Oscar, but the director got NADA... It's not a matter of people of color demanding that they 'always be included' , it's a matter of it often seeming that people of color are left out time and time again. Considered last in casting, considered last in telling their own stories, THANK YOU MATT DAMON, and then often not considered to get an award for their acting unless they are playing a criminal or a slave. While those things are generalities, they are issues that need to be looked at and addressed. It benefits all people to cast a wider net and to see the world thru the myriad of experiences of all of the different people of the world. [/quote]
