I feel that I should take the time to mention that the PRESIDENT of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences “The Academy”, Cheryl Boone Isaacs, is BLACK! I should also mention that “Creed” was nominated and that I thought Michael B. Jordan should have gotten the nomination over Sylvester Stallone. I do not however believe another film was worthy of the nod. You want an Oscar nod, put out a Oscar worthy performance.
and I would like to mention that the President is black and so is AL Sharpton and so is Chris Rock
They should have a black oscar night. Call it the Leroy awards.
