#OscarsSoWhite! Twitter Reacts to the 2016 Oscar Nominations Having No “Colour”; See Complete List of Nominees for the 2016 Oscars
The nominations for the 88th Academy Awards (Oscars 2016) was announced on, Thursday 14th of January, at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills and many fans all around the world took to twitter to display their disappointment at the list.
Last year it was #OscarNoms (click here) and this year it is #OscarsSoWhite… either way one thing is for sure and that is the fact that social media can’t help but notice the absence of “colour” on the Oscars nomination list.
This year there have been quite a number of spectacular movies with black actors that have received tons of nominations (and awards) from other platforms. Michael B. Jordan in “Creed”, Will Smith in “Concussion”, Wiz Khalifa’s hit soundtrack for “Fast and Furious 7”, Idris Elba in “Beast of No Nation”, “Straight Out of Compton” are just a couple of examples that have got Twitter riled up.
After a lot of backlash on social media for the lack of diversity (for the second year in a row) on the Oscars 2016 nominee list, the Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs has released a statement.
She said to Deadline “Of course I am disappointed, but [it is] not to take away the greatness (of the films nominated). This has been a great year in film, it really has across the board. You are never going to know what is going to appear on the sheet of paper until you see it. We have got to speed it up.”
The 2016 Oscars will be held on Feb. 28 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
