Hooray for the Oscars, a celebration of white people's achievements in film and cinema, no wonder the ratings are down, not one single minority was nominated in any single category, even in the best film category, not one of those films even cast an African-American, Latino, Asian, etc...as an EXTRA!!! The Oscars is still and always will be the celebration of white people's achievements, and whenever a minority wins an award, it's for playing a thug or a whore, get real Hollywood, perhaps your history of nepotism and covert racism has finally caught up to you, while the rest of the country is on the verge of electing a black President, Hollywood, well it's just still plain ol' Hollywood.
