Who won the Oscar for being black?

Didn't that go to Alec Guinness for blacking up to play Prince Faisal in David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia ??

I've never been a fan of the Bollox because it is just luvvies voting for luvvies, always was and always will be.

I think we all lost interest when it became an ethnics and minorities tick box excercise rather than one that bestowed awards on percieved talent . Not happy with that it seems from 2024  the ONLY way to recieve a statue will be to be a conformist to diversity  ideals

I can't say that I follow the Oscars, but it is always fun to sea movie folk having fun.

Algerie Francais !

Meh. Who cares. But this story should really about the right of comedians to insult without impunity. Some might find it funny. But I can see why someone might snap over something like alopecia. Perhaps one joke too far given Will Smiths wife has been the butt of everyone's jokes recently.

This is what happens when no one gives a flying one about the Oscars. They have to manufacture and act out an outrage to try to keep us interested.

What a bunch of eejits.

It wasnt even a proper slap .
LOL Of course it wasn't - it hadn't been choreographed, directed and rehearsed for several hours.

It's become a freak show. Showbis  has become a breeding ground for people who think they hold the answer to all life's problems instead of realising that they simply pretend for a living.
