    Please do this with Black Actresses as well, and Black creatives in writing directing and songwriting. You’re so good at this.

      This lady runs a channel about classic film with a similar video essay format, and a couple years ago she did an episode on Halle Berry’s historic victory, Dorothy Dandridge’s historic nomination, and the barriers faced by Black actresses in Hollywood. She’s also done episodes on the barriers faced by East Asian and Latina actresses. I love all her stuff, I can’t recommend it highly enough.

    Mr. Sidney Poitier gave excellent performances in 1967 with “To Sir, with Love”, “In the Heat of the Night”, and “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” and didn’t get a single nomination.

      Like the other guy said, that's more an indictment of the general world the Oscars exist inside than the Oscars themselves. Specifically because film & television were created by white people, and Hollywood/The Oscars exist in a country that's more than 70% non-black. Black people are not gonna represent even half of the nominees just numerically🤷🏿‍♂️It's the World's anti-blackness that's the problem. The American film industry is secondary to that as it falls under the heading of world institutions.

    Wait. If Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stanfield were *both* nominated for Best Supporting Actor in the *SAME* film, then who was the leading actor? Was it Jesse Plemons, or Martin Sheen?
    Both men where practically background characters.

      The most likely were nominated for supporting roles because they had a high chance wining (being black) as opposed to being nominated for a lead role.

    I agree with the thought of awards not being as impactful as genuine representations of Black culture. It is nice to say one is a winner though, as shown throughout the video, the awards are steeped in whiteness.

    PLEASE PLEASE TALK ABOUT VIOLA DAVIS IS JUST GOOD AS MERYL. She literally was back and worth with Her for the Help vs Iron Lady. Both were deserving legends so I'm not upset she lost to Meryl. But in 2017 when she won for FENCES as SHE SHOULD HAVE. Tell me why she was put in the category fraud for Best Supporting Acrress WHEN SHE WAS CLWARLY A LEAD.
    Whats worse is that Emma Stone won Best Actress that year....Emma is nowhere near Violas League. That was injustice. Viola should've won for Best Actress and allowed AN ACTUAL supporting actress to have received an oscar.

      Well African American racism has its own brand of hate it’s one of the reasons the black diaspora is so divided. The American experience is unique in the way they conceal overt oppression. We forget hitler took the blueprint for ww2 from how the USA handles black Americans now Germany went through a complete overhaul in reparations and changing ideologies to be what they are now, America has still to this day never done that or taken responsibility for the treatment of black Americans. In other words we deserve the reparations, my life is directly affected by slavery and prejudice.

    Green Book was a great and truthful film about actual racism, not the nonsense Spike Lee peddled in Blackclansman (now, that was a movie with stereotypes!) Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing" was a great movie about racism, but he has become an extremist in his later years. The hate that Green Book got was shameful and stupid.

    • @randomami8176
      @randomami8176 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      What is the percentage of black actors overall? Besides even if black actors % was same as their population percentage, there’s not a rule that says that the academy is obliged to give them Oscars just for being black. Same goes to everything else be it policemen, doctors, CEOs or whatever.
      In the year of 12 Years a Slave, as soon as I saw the clip for best supporting actress, I knew Lupita Nyongo was the winner. She was simply phenomenal. But when they showed the clips for best actor, I said, if this one doesn’t gone to Mathew McConaughey, the Oscar’s are a joke. No matter how good the actor for 12YAS was, MMac was the best. Period.
