Okay so I wasn't even gonna weigh in on the #OscarsoWhite controversy because quite frankly it's fucking stupid. Suffice it to say, I agree with our favorite misanthrope, Whoopi Goldberg. Anywho, the Sultan of Smug, George Clooney has taken it upon himself to spout his douchbagery about the whole thing: via People:
In an interview with Variety, Clooney expressed his disappointment in the lack of diversity among this year's Oscar nominees, saying that the Academy is "moving in the wrong direction."
The Oscar winner, 54, pointed to the low number of roles available to minorities in the film industry.
"If you think back 10 years ago, the Academy was doing a better job.
Think about how many more African-Americans were nominated," he said. "I
would also make the argument, I don't think it's a problem of who
you're picking as much as it is: How many options are available to
minorities in film, particularly in quality films?"
I'm so happy that he took a break from sniffing his own farts to really delve into bullshit. It should be noted, as nobody else seems to remember...Mr. Lincoln up there basically said that the Academy was responsible for the civil rights movement in his 2006 Oscar acceptance speech. Yes, it's true...here is a video for you to enjoy-but be careful the fart fumes don't engulf you!
