A Not-So-Diverse Academy

The past few weeks have been full of contreversy surrounding this one legendary night, The Oscars. Chris Rock host this year and was defiently not shy on the fact that not one African American was nominated. Yes, this has happened before so why the big fuss this year? My personal opinoin is because the African Americans were SO phenomenal this year. Will Smith (Concussion) and Michael B. Jordan (Creed) should have EASILY been nominated and the fact that they weren't was a huge slap in the face. rocky-creed-041415-instagram-ftr_1ru44ufz0pupu1w5mkl702zmaf Although I'm happy they adressed the matter I still feel as if they "beat it into the ground". Every time the camera would pan over to Chris Rock he'd have some remark about the contreversy. I get it, it's a huge deal but we shouldn't let it put a dark shadow on the other deserving directors and actors.
