Spike Lee has protested the lack of black actors nominated at the Oscars. As a claim, he has decided not to attend the gala. And also, the director has published a letter on his instagram in which he quotes nothing else and nothing less than martin luther king. In it she dropped pearls like this:
How is it possible that for the second year in a row the 20 competitors in the interpreting category are white? And let's not go into other branches. 40 white actors in 2 years. We don't know how to act ?!
And I think he is not wrong in reality. Because there are good actors. It may not be the case, but Will Smith He seems to have hit upon a drama this year that could have landed him at least one nomination. And I agree with that that you could get a little more representation. It's known that Samuel Jackson trabaja good with tarantino and this year he premieres a movie with him. I think there are options.
Maybe Spike Lee sin a little controversial. The forms are usually not the right ones. But this time I think there is no shortage of arguments. It also seems that Will Smith has joined this boycott the director has started. It seems that convinced by his wife, the actor has decided to help solve this little problem that the awards have no black actors Oscar nominees. I do not know if it is very logical that this has to be done by one of the actors who should be nominated, but it starts with something. And it is not the same that a handful of strangers claim this as one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood does it (Recall that Smith is on the list of the highest paid actors)
I hope that in the next few years the jury will bother a little more to offer that well-deserved representation.
