#HollywoodSoJewish: Internet protests all-white Oscar acting nominees for 2nd yr in row

For just the second time since the late 1990s – and the second year in a row – no actors of color were nominated for the Oscar’s acting awards.

The internet objected to the absence of Michael B Jordan, star of the Rocky sequel Creed, even though Sylvester Stallone was nominated for best supporting actor. Sly won a Golden Globe for his performance earlier this month.

Stars of the NWA biopic Straight Out of Compton and Concussion star Will Smith also missed out.

African-American comedian Chris Rock will host the 88th annual Oscars on February 28th. Even though it was announced back in October, some feel it is a “token” gesture by the Academy.
