Academy should look better

amsterdam - His colored actors robbed this year willfully their Oscar nominations by the Academy? This is difficult to sustain. Likely that the voters see through glasses that are virtually road seems to filter the performances of non-white players.

That has everything to do with the composition of the Academy of Motions Pictures Arts amp; Sciences. A study by the Los Angeles Times in 2012 showed that of the six thousand members was about 94 percent white. Of voters only two percent had an African-American background, the Latino group was equally small. Another important point: only fourteen percent appeared younger than 50, while the average age of Academy members was even 62 years.

Straight Outta Compton thereof directly bear the brunt, as actors like Jason Mitchell and Corey Hawkins that deliver performance that it was quite a nomination were worth. Indeed, the majority of the Academy has nothing to do with the hip hop culture which is portrayed in this film. And that a rap song like Fuck Tha Police here on the big screen as a sort of national anthem is intoned, many voters was undoubtedly an eyesore.

That Creed indeed Sylvester Stallone was nominated, but not the young black lead actor Michael B. Jordan, has again to do everything that the sympathy factor 'Sly' enjoy at the Academy, especially now that he back in the skin for this movie boxing hero Rocky Balboa crawled. But the black actor this year indeed truly deserved an Oscar-nomintie, Idris Elba was for his charismatic villain in Beasts of No Nation, in which he plays the commander of an army of African child soldiers.

Elba even fell off the boat, can be seen with good will as pure luck. Yet it somehow hits a big dent in the image of the Academy. More cultural diversity among Oscar voters is a must, but in addition they will just have to look better. With those glasses.
