#OscarsSoBlack

To be fair, while a lot about it of is still horse-crap, the Oscars are slightly more credible these days, at least you do see smaller movies getting a Best Picture Nomination, now that they've expanded the field for up to ten nominees. A lot of the processes behind the whole shebang are political gamesmanship still, but it's a damn sight better now at acknowledging movies of merit than what it was even ten years ago.

There was an obvious over-correct in the number of Black acting nominees this year, which is to be expected after the backlash. Though as a result of the furore they did open up the membership of The Academy somewhat; what was previously not that diverse of a bunch, made up largely of old white guys, now contains a lot more female and minority voters. So don't expect to see a whitewash again any time soon.

Edit: Just to add as well, as a response to the Poster who said The Oscars aren't political, The Oscars are always political. Look at the list of winners and nominees throughout the years and you can usually read through them the issues that Hollywood wants to be seen to care about and/or endorse.
