    Have you rolled the dice yet?

    Pick the six or other number for minorities. It doesn't have to be the one. Use five 10 sided dice if you wish one of the numbers to represent a black rather than a minority. This makes the odds of a not being nominated in a category at 59% rather than the 40% for a minority. Blacks only make up 10% of the actors and actresses. Diversity of awards should be looked at by Hollywood's demographics, not national demographics. For the 20 nominees total, if actors and actresses were selected totally by random, the statistical odds would be 12.2% that none of the 20 nominees are black.

    Go ahead. Roll the dice.

    You could give me 4 ten sided dice and I still would be out of luck because I couldn't come up with the last one. Not before I forgot why I needed it anyway.

    I had a starter set but never did play. But maybe I will splurge on a big ass bag of dice. Then I will try to sole the Oscar mystery.

    Aww ....Danny Divito going super balls deep on Whitey...

    Speaking on the controversy surrounding the Oscars' lack of diversity while at the Sundance Film Festival, the actor said, "It’s unfortunate that the entire country is a racist country."
    DeVito added, "We are living in a country that discriminates and has certain racial tendencies which -- racist tendencies -- so sometimes it’s manifested in things like this and it’s illuminated, but just generally speaking we’re a racist -- we’re a bunch of racists."

    Alec Baldwin.....As for Idris Elba not getting a Best Actor nod, Alec Baldwin expressed, “After the Oscars they should have the ‘We F***ed Up’ Awards. And they should give BeastsOfNation the recognition it deserves.”

    Seth MacFarlane rewrote the lyrics of a Barry Manilow song to mock the topic, tweeting, “Lovin’ so warm, Oscars so white, Closin’ our eyes and feelin’ the light…”

    I'm having a field day with this .....


    William H. Macy applauds those boycotting the Oscars

    (Jay L. Clendenin / Los Angeles Times)

    William H. Macy of "Room" and "Shameless," who was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in 1996's "Fargo," applauded the actors partaking in this year's boycott, discussing the controversy with Us Weekly at the Casting Society of America’s 31st Artios Awards in Beverly Hills.

    Good for them. Good for them. Talk about putting your money where your mouth is. It's not right. Someone's gotta say it. They said it. I applaud them.

    Marlon Wayans gets funny -- and serious -- with the #OscarsSoWhite boycott

    (Christine Cotter / Los Angeles Times)

    We should have a sit-down with the Academy, but we should also have a sit-down with the film studios because we’re not getting the budgets that we need to get that kind of consideration. Look, 'The Revenant' was made for a lot of money. The bear alone was $100 million. And I’m sure the Oscars are going, 'What are you angry about? The black bear was awesome in 'The Revenant!'

    Marlon Wayans

    "I really appreciated this article in TIME on the lack of racial and gender diversity in this year's Oscar nominations," Witherspoon, 39, wrote, referring to the publication's feature "The Oscar Nominations Prove the Academy Still Doesn't Get It."
    "So disappointed that some of 2015's best films, filmmakers and performances were not recognized," she wrote. "Nothing can diminish the quality of their work, but these filmmakers deserve recognition. As an Academy member, I would love to see a more diverse voting membership," she concluded.

    Tbh, all these past their prime actors are just cashing in hoping to get some attention since they can't get it anywhere else. Even a simpleton like you must realize this.

    Don't worry I'm not posting that in response to your idiot ass, I'm posting it relative to the subject at hand. When you're not good enough it's always easier to point fingers and yell racism than to take a good hard look at yourself and why you didn't make the cut. When black actors have been good, they've been recognized.

    tell that to all the white big name actors trashing the likes of YOU

    Go sit down while we drive change in this country ...

    DuVernay is a relative newcomer in the filmmaking world -- her first feature, "I Will Follow," came out just five years ago -- it also points to a larger diversity issue.

    "Here's the deal: Most of us in the film community, across the board, work with people who we know, who we consider friends and family. If you use that as a barometer to look at the film world, it just shows you how segregated, xenophobic, sexist, racist and backwards we are as Americans in terms of how we deal with one another," cinematographer Bradford Young, another snubbed member of Team "Selma," told The Huffington Post in an interview earlier this year. "I'm not throwing anybody under the bus for hiring who they hire, but if we're honest with ourselves -- for whatever it's worth for the person who could actually admit it to themselves -- we have a lot of work to do. If film sets are representations of the American public as a whole, which they're supposed to be, then film crews haven't moved out of the era that we see Martin Luther King fighting in during 'Selma.'"

    If white people are the overwhelming majority of an entire industry, and the awards created to honor that industry are decided on mainly by white people, how could anyone say this is a level playing field? "This is not me being humble," DuVernay told Entertainment Weekly when she predicted she'd be shut out of the nominations. Rather, she said, she was just looking at the surroundings.

    "The question is: Why was 'Selma' the only film that was even in the running with people of color for the award? You know what I mean? I mean, why are there not -- not just black, brown people? You know what I mean? Asian people, indigenous people, representations that are more than just one voice, just one face, just one gaze?" DuVernay said during an interview on "Democracy Now!" after the Oscar nominations were announced. "So, for me, it’s much less about the awards and the accolades, because, literally, next year no one cares. Right? I can’t even tell you who won the award for whatever three years ago. I don’t know."

    My mother is 1/32nd black. Viking on my fathers side. I would look like my avatar if I grew my hair a little and lost 15-20 lbs. He is a direct ancestor of mine

    I couldn't wait on the dice so I made my own set of 10 sided dice out of cardboard. I labeled the sides with names of black and white actors based on their race's proportion of actors in the industry.
