LOL. That’s right … it’s another year of liberal outrage at the liberals in Hollywood for nominating movies made by liberals and starring liberals for an Academy Award while avoiding liberal people of color and liberal Latinos.
Check it out:
Many great films were nominated, but African Americans were shut out of the 7 top categories. Disappointing. #OscarsSoWhite …AGAIN.

Not one person of color nominated in any acting category.#OscarNoms #OscarsSoWhite @emergingUS https://t.co/d0bBL5KbKI

Acting categories again filled entirely by white performers. #OscarsSoWhite is now trending. https://t.co/ld7j2q8BNt pic.twitter.com/sk9aNuUdHd

Reminder: Minorities are 37% of the U.S., bought 46% of movie tickets — and got 0 Oscar acting noms. https://t.co/n0F5JdBIUp #OscarsSoWhite

Maybe they're doing #OscarsSoWhite again because Hollywood loves sequels

Dear Academy,#OscarsSoWhite? Again? In a year with CREED, STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON, and BEASTS OF NO NATION?
What more did you need?

It's another ALL-WHITE OSCARS in the acting categories, as Idris Elba and Jason Mitchell were snubbed. #OscarsSoWhite
— Jeff Sneider (@TheInSneider) January 14, 2016
Wow, the acting categories are VERY white this year. Like… all white. Every single nominee. #OscarsSoWhite

Matt Damon nominated by not Michael B. Jordan. #OscarsSoWhite

OMG NO IDRIS ELBA #OscarsSoWhite
— Adam Epstein (@aepstein) January 14, 2016
For the second year in a row, all 20 acting nominees are white. No #OscarNoms for Will Smith or Idris Elba. #OscarsSoWhite 2.0, some say.

— Charles M. Blow (@CharlesMBlow) January 14, 2016
The Oscars are gonna be so white that Chris Rock is gonna have to walk through the back door of the venue, like the olden days.
