This year‘s Oscar nominations are out again – and they’re remarkably white… yet again.
There are no non-white nominations in the acting categories this year. Beasts of No Nations had no mention and neither did Spike Lee’s Chi-Raq. The resurrection of #OscarsSoWhite pretty much sums it up:
Wow, the acting categories are VERY white this year. Like… all white. Every single nominee. #OscarsSoWhite
