I don't think they are exactly taking the wind out of it, it's making these old white academy voters look like idiots and we are making fun of them.

Well they've made a great move to make changes and that's good. I want quality and it's out there in diversity, but we must also remember that these awards began back in the day when there wasn't much diversity.

I will also say this, I know many of my people that won't watch a movie like Concussion which starred Wil Smith or the Jessie Owen story . . .but they will cry foul if these movies are not nominated. Hell --when I mention the Oscars to my circle of family they look at me like I'm crazy --they say I'm trying to be 'White'. They don't watch many of the movies I like and they look down on me because I find enjoyment in such themes.

I see the issues from both sides.

I'm a very open woman and I welcome diversity.

I enjoyed Straight Outta Compton just as well as I enjoyed The Revenant.

Very good. Learning about all sorts of things is always a good thing.
