Every presenter has been a black person.
Trying hard to make it up to the people that pouted.

Damn.opcorn:
Wow, we got the most political show of all-time.
Climate change
race
rape culture
immigration
You stole that from twitterThe Academy Awards - 3 hours of rich white liberals awkwardly clapping while being told how racist they are.
Rape culture is political?
It's a bogus lie by liberals that gets repeated constantly. There is no rape epidemic in the U.S. The debunked gov't study that cites 20 percent of women are getting raped is total BS. .
Back to ignore you go, sock.
I guess you'll have to ask Joe.
Based on that, it's obviously not political.
???
Maybe you don't know--- that Joe B. was invited to give the big speech about campus rape and sexual assault?
You've just been smacking him around latelyThere is no government study saying 20% of women are getting raped, it's stating 20% of women are getting sexually assaulted. I'm not surprised you're having trouble with that delineation.
But, based on numerous surveys, 12% of women in US colleges answered affirmatively to being raped, either forcibly, while incapacitated, or drug induced. Not just sexually assaulted, which includes physical and verbal harassment, but raped. That's 1 in 8 females attending US colleges.
The study that Biden and others site report sexual assault statistics fairly consistently with other national surveys conducted and authenticated through peer review.
I'm not sure why you would want to dismiss this so quickly when you don't have a solid grasp on the situation and its related studies/evidence.
Wait, you had me on ignore, then responded? You're kinda awful at using the ignore feature.
Yep, I know. Just because Joe Biden is harassing a female then the issue becomes political? Sure, Biden's a hypocrite, but that shouldn't and doesn't belittle the problem.
Disagree. King's Speech and Firth were awesome.That's difficult. There have been a lot. The academy generally get it wrong every year in most categories. Going back ten years I would say these stand out. Crash is just outside the ten years or it would be my number one.
1. King's speech - best picture 2010
2. Colin Firth - best actor - King's speech 2010
3. Tom Hooper - best director - King's speech 2010
4. Danny Boyle - best Director - slumdog - 2008
5. The Artist - best picture - 2011
There are a lot that I didn't agree with or wanted someone else to win, but I could still justify their pick. These five cannot be justified.
Okay.
I'm not belittling it. It is an odd choice (though not as much as Bill Clinton would've been!) since Old Joe is the kind of grabby/hands-on kind of guy that you might find in some of those campus sexual assault statistics.
I think most people would admit that it becomes somewhat political when you invite a politician to participate in the program. They knew what they were doing... especially in an election year and their top pick being a female. It was just the Oscars being blatant about what everybody already knows, with regard to their politics.
I don't know... I don't watch the Oscars every year. Have there been Republicans on the show for any great causes?
Saw today, 2/29/16, that viewership of the Oscars was down 8% in part due to the diversity controversy. I predict within 5 years the Oscars will be a shadow of their former self. The show will be off network TV due to terrible ratings and relegated to some channel few watch or get.
https://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/leonardo-dicaprioNo way they will pass up the opportunity to parade themselves around and use the platform to push agendas. They don't care to lose money on that stuff.
This group of narcissists who get $200k gift bags, fly in private jets from all over the world to come to the Oscars to publicly pat themselves on the back, pretend to give an eff about "the little people" by talking about issues of race, gender wage gap, climate control, etc...all when this could be handled by email or mail.
Seriously, Leo, the big douche that is all about the planet, choose to get on his private jet to get to the awards show, got driven in a fossil fuel burning limousine just to get in front of a bunch of people to accept a trophy, get on a soapbox and then hurried off to a party and then back on the limousine and back on the private jet to a mansion.
Read the link. Lists all that Leo has done to help with issues he feels are important. Not following?^^^^ Lolll when a poster doesn't read his link...
So he should spend all of his money and time on these causes? I thought you guys didn't like to be told how to spend your money? I mean the guy isn't supposed to spend any money on himself? He has to spend it all on his causes or he is otherwise a hypocrite? Haha that's dumb. If I had the time and resources I could probably make a case that flying in a private jet is much more energy efficient than using commercial airlines. The fact is the guy has dedicated a huge portion of his life and his resources to fight for causes he believes in. If you want to hate on that, let's face it you hate on anything outside of your limited worldview, then go for it hoss. Hate, hate, and more hate. That's all you bring to the table.The link doesn't prove anything wrong in regards to my post. It's total hypocrisy to do all of this climate control crap while jetting all over the world and owning a yacht and private jet.
It's like being against lions getting killed but you eat lion meat and have your own butcher to filet lions.
