Can't believe people thought he deserved an oscar nomination for Creed


Unbelievable. I mean his performance was okay, but nowhere near Oscar worthy. Black people just use this an excuse to paint Hollywood as racist. Pathetic.

I don't think anybody said his performance needed an Oscar nom----it's the fact that the film itself didn't get any nods for a nom except for Stallone himself.

Yep,another ignorant poster---the fact is, Hollywood hasn't nominated ANY black or or other actors of color for two straight years. How the hell is that not racism? Do some research on the actual damn issue instead of just popping off about something you clearly don't know s*** about. There's always some troll idiot like you claiming that black people should STFU about racism---no, you need to STFU telling us there's so such thing simply because you don't want to hear it. Now fck off with your bull****.

Aww screw you. Ever thought it's because they didn't deserve it? I'm the ignorant one?

I'm white and I think he was completely snubbed to be honest with you. I watched pretty much all the Oscar films that were nominated and some that weren't. Steve jobs, the Martial, and the Danish girl? Ehhhh. Michael B. Jordan should have gotten an oscar nomination. I can understand not a win since it was Leo's year, but a nomination none the less. He did a better job than Michael Fassbender (Steve Jobs), Matt Damon (The Martian), and Eddie Redmayne (Danish Girl) in my humble opinion. Those were some questionable nominations. I feel like Eddie was nominated just for the sake of playing a transgender, Michael Fassbender just because he was playing a real life person, and Matt Damon just because the film did well since it was a best selling book. I've seen Matt Damon in better films where his acting was top notch. However, the Martian? I wouldn't have given him a nomination.

But hey, that's just one person's opinion and you have your own. :)

Yeah man, u r spot on

I think Jordon and Jackson for supporting deserved nominations. I'm not a die hard LEO fan but I thought the Academy got it right with him. I think Hardy deserved supporting the most but Sly would have been cool. I thought the whole Oscar thing was stupid and saw nothing racist about it. Social Justice warriors have too much free time these days.

Troll.

I kinda agree with you. Even though that might be wrong, but I actually don't see what black actor deserved a nod that year, and this is not necessarily racism.
