Here's the statement,
“Of course I am disappointed, but is not to take away the greatness (of the films nominated). This has been a great year in film, it really has across the board. You are never going to know what is going to appear on the sheet of paper until you see it,” Cheryl Boone Isaacs said. “We have got to speed it up.”
Why did the Oscars announce all the white nominees first?

.@HomeDepot I'm trying to re-paint my living room. Can't decide between eggshell white and "Oscars so White". Thoughts?

#Amy director @asifkapadia on being that rare non-white nominee today: I guess I'll do my best to represent the 3 billion Asians out there.

All white Oscar nominations are another example of the lack of diversity in Hollywood. Like the Rocky Mts. The higher u climb the whiter.

Hollywood has a fraudulent image of progressive and liberal politics and policies. We must take direct action to correct this. Talk is cheap
