I appreciate how high some of their standards are, if only the rest of us could reach for the starts as they do.

Looks like Hollywood have to face a unintended consequence thanks to an African-American from what I read on that article.

African-American filmmaker accuses Hollywood of racism and sexism following Oscar snub​

By Rajan Laad


Cinema is a rare art form that transcends all boundaries and brings people together.
Nowhere else does a diverse group of people sit together to experience similar emotions simultaneously. Audiences are enthralled together, they laugh together, they cheer together, they jeer together, they cry together, and if the work is admirable, they applaud together.
Art should solely be judged on its merit, and cinema is an art that is no different. The sole criteria should be how well the story was told. The origins or ethnicity of the storyteller are immaterial.
However, in recent years, that has changed.
When award nominations are announced, many in the media study the demographic groups of the nominees instead of the quality of their work.
A few days back, the same Hollywood that sanctimoniously brands a large section of the public as bigots, was accused of bigotry for snubbing some critically acclaimed films by and about Black people.
The film at the center of this controversy is Till.
Till was released last year and is based on the true story of the mother who pursued justice following the murder of her son Emmett Till in 1955.
