Hahaha!
Honestly, I'm so tired of this shit. We've had years where the Oscars go all black, complete with weepy-eyed Oprah moments and all that shit, but then we have a couple of years without a blacktor included in the best actor category and the whole world explodes. Jesus, if there isn't a performance good enough by a blacktor to warrant a nod, then just accept that and move on!

how many blacks live in montreal

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

If she were really interested in advancing diversity in Hollywood, she's put her millions of dollars to use producing films that include all manner of minorities.

Using her influence and drawing attention to an issue she cares about is just as important.

No it's not. Putting her money where her mouth is would have way more impact.
