The Oscars

I don't have a lot to say about The Oscars, but I do have a few thoughts on the recent controversy. There are some who are upset due to the lack of black actors nominated for roles this year. I don't see how changing the rules or procedures for nominating so there are more ethnic actors will do anything to advance the cause. It makes it less of a prize no matter who you are. You weren't nominated under the standard, so lets make it so you are more likely to be nominated. No real actor, black or white, worthy of their craft should want to win by pity vote. That's what The Academy Awards will become if the rules are changed to accommodate those unhappy with the current standards.
