Idiot.
Via Hollywood Reporter:
Al Sharpton lit into Hollywood Thursday morning after this year’s Oscar nominations were released and not a single African-American was up for one of the 20 available slots in the four acting categories.
This marks the second year with this result; the protest hashtag last year was #OscarsSoWhite.
Before that, 2011 was the last time all of the acting contenders were white and then again in 1998.
Sharpton criticized the industry for having a “fraudulent image of progressive and liberal politics and policies” and compared success in Tinseltown to climbing the Rocky Mountains.
