Spike Lee, Hilary Swank and Wesley Snipes pose for photos at the 80th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday in Hollywood. Since, Ruby Dee was the only black celebrity to be nominated in any of the major categories this year, I didn’t really watch the awards show like that. You can peep the full winner’s list here though.

1. The Oscars were a bit dull to me this year, I wish Cate Blanchett had won something, her acting was mad on point.
2. Jennifer looks cute! Hillary Swank’s dress was beautiful.

DAJAZ1.COM
#2 Every winner who won last year was there that happens every year.
#2The previous winners always come back the next year to present the award to the new ones. Jhud, Forest , Helen & Alan Arkin all won last year.
just put it like this, this years oscars was wack wit a capital W!!!!!!!! they played ruby dee crazy she killed that performance in american gangster . she should of been got an oscar or nomination. very long ova due. especially in her performance in raisin in the sun. ruby dee is like our elizabeth taylor, one of the few legends still alive in our actin community . and they played the singers and writers from august rush cause that song is way better than that song from that otha movie enchanted. im also mad they didnt nominate the great debaters cause that movie was powerful and jurnee smollet killed it. are they f ***in serious!!!!! not enough black people this year at the award show and red carpet. i was like dam where all the brothas and sistas. i guess they wasnt givin us none this yr or showin us luv this yr. i swear the oscars academy is full of ish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wat a 3hrs waste of my time!!!!!!!!!!!!
honezty is ova and out!!!!!!
However, even when I visit black blogs they go on and on about how “attractive” or post continuously about Keys, Beyonce, Lauren London and Rihanna . And on some of these black blogs they put down darker skinned black women.
——————————–
When I first read this I thought about Concrete Loop. How many posts are about light skinned Black women vs. Dark skinned? CL rarely mention movie news, but when they do they mainly focus on the next Beyonce movie despite the fact that plenty of Black women have been cast in THe Secret Life of Bees and Viola Davis is in Doubt? Biased. I think so.
The Great Debaters was formulaic and predictable and the BEST performance form that film was from Nate Parker NOT Jurnee Smollett.
Um the song from ONCE won not Enchanted WTF?
They shouldn’t award people for there career they should reward them for their performance Ryby Dee was in AG for less than 5 minutes. Tilda deserved it.
——————
Myesha brings up a good point I do noticed that a lot too. Multiple pics and posts about Rihanna Beyonce Lauren London etc. When there are more talented Black sistas around. I was wondering why there was no post about Viola Davis in Doubt or the Cast of the Secret Life of Bees, but if Rihanna or Bee was in them I;m sure there would of been.
- WESTLY SNIPES looks like a GAY MUSLIM with that outfit on. I look at that outfit and get the strange urge to sing “PURPLE RAIN”.
- SPIKE looks like SPIKE. Thats all I can ever say about him, don’t expect him to look any different.
- I like DIDDY, but I still don’t understand the point of him being there. He was probably acting hella fake.
- FORREST WHITAKER and his wife KIESHA looks great. KIESHA is BEAUTIFUL.
- The jury is still out on J-HUDS dress…but she looked better then last year so thats a plus.
- How old is QUINCY JONES date? *squints eyes*….. Quincy reminds me of one of those “dirty” old men that be trying to cop a feel on the sly. WOW @ him being old as DIRT having a date that looks like she should be going to PROM NIGHT. smdh…do it then QUINCY…. *squints eyes again* is that CASSIE? ROTFL
What was that clown Diddy doing there? Note to Diddy: The Oscars celebrate talent, not mediocrity. That no talent-bum needs to check himself.
Jennifer Hudson… didn’t look good. She looked pissed off that she gained her weight back. Too bad Javier Bardem had to receive his award for some hack that won an Oscar for singing! Stupid Academy.
Did anybody else but me notice that Denzel wasn’t nominated. I dont even think that there even was a black person nominated except for Ms. Ruby Dee.
I’m with you #12 everybody and their mama know that denzel should’ve at least a nomination for one of his movies. This is why we have the NAACP Forget the Oscars they ain’t nonthing but a joke.
Shut up Chosen. Why do some black people cry foul when not EVERY black women or men are nominated for an Oscar? There are only so many slots for any given category and the nominations are based on the cream-of-the-crop from the entire year. This is why there are so many race-relations issues in the U.S. From racist white trash and backwards minded black people like Chosen. Stop self-segregation — the ultimate form of racism. What the hell did MLK die for?
i dont know ish u talkin about halli, but no one is crying out foul okay. real talk, when hav u eva seen a black , minority director win or get an oscar nomination for directing a movie. or black film get a nod. less then the fingers on my f***in hand. they wanna give enchanted mad nominations thats about unrealistic fairytalish bull but not nominate the great debaters. one of the few movies that show our brothas and sisras in a positive light, tryin to get our education and betta our selves. that makes me f**in wonder yo. the academy is full of bull point blank. two of the best black actors involved , young up in comer black actors and actresses involved and the most powerful women in the world involved producing this movie and u mean to tell me u cant give this movie not one nomination. we all know majority of the people makin decisions behind the scences are made up of of old white tymers. give me a f***in break!!!!!!!!
Jennifer Hudson looked great, but I’m STILL trying to figure out how and why Wesley was there?!?!?
At people talking about The Great Debaters. It was positive, but not that good. It was just okay. I have to agree w/Halli.
boring…
Wesley Snipes was there because he’s an actor.
Diddy was there because he’s an actor.
Im only just tuning in to E here in London to watch the red carpet rundown, So far so good.I love Heidi’s dress and Seal complimented her perfectly…J- hud dress is cute but her boobs definitely do not fit into the upper part of it, but great dress none the less..
Quicy Jones old azz is a trip, he should have atleast told her to dress approrpriate that dress is tacky. This is the Oscars not Oscar Strip Bar, but as long as she is “other” he is cool….smh
# 2 hahahahahaha P.Diddy… is he a toof goof? hahahahahaha, I decided I actually like him after watching do an interview with Trevor Nelson. He’s cool, don’t always make good decisions, I think, but he’s cool. Films have been very dry this last year and until they start nominating Transformers and Why Did I Get Married, I will continue not to watch the whole thing and wait for the hightlights
Jennifer Hudson looked great and sounded great (she has a nice speaking voice)!
The show was pretty good if you know anything about film and what they’re looking for……Although i do think Cate Blanchett was robbed…….she did the damn thing in Elizabeth (oscar worthy performance)!
Ruby Dee’s performance in American Gangster was good, but it was not Oscar worthy……..that’s why she didn’t win! Stop thinking everything is a damn conspiracy! The woman that won over her was ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS in Atonement (that’s why she won and Ruby Dee lost)!
@ #27…….Are you serious lol?
I guess you will NEVER be watching the Oscar’s because films of that degree will NEVER be nominated! Transformers was good…….but never in a million years should it have garnered an Academy Award! Their was nothing Academy Award deserving in Why Did I Get Married…..the acting was terrible (in my opinion), and the story line was nothing we have not already heard before…..those movies will NEVER come close to the Academy!
I didn’t watch and am glad I missed what was obviously a snorefest.
SMH @ Ruby Dee not winning ……
Stop hatin on Diddy!
Diddy and Wesley Snipes need to just sit down! Who invited em?
~That’s why we black people have to come harder. I didn’t expect Ms. Rudy Dee to win. I want nothing given to us, we have to earn it. It hurts my heart, because we are never given a chance. We have to start saying no to roles like being a Gangster, Maid, Whore, Singer. I would love to see us there more, but look at BET, that network reminds us how far we have dropped as a people. I think we should boycott because it’s a disgrace. By the way light, brown, or dark skin isn’t a race, we are all peas of the same pod~
And black peopls go to this shit because . . .
Really. Last year’s Oscars was the blackest ever. You know that we aren’t getting any recognition for a while after that.
The “guest” with Louis Gossett, Jr. looks like actress Beverly Todd. I think it is her, but I may be wrong.
Quincy gets em’ younger and younger
That chick looks the same age as Kidada and Rashida
Oscars = YAWN……….They should really step it up, The most excitement they EVER Had was when 3.6 Mafia won!
FEED KEISHA WHITAKER FEED KEISHA WHITAKER FEED KEISHA WHITAKER!!!!!!! CARBS…CODE BLACK!!!!
ok i’m done…
I REALLY HOPE THAT’S QUINCY JONES’S GRANDDAUGHTER???? NASTY ASS OLD MAN….BLOWING OUT DUST!!!
Recently, quite a few celebrities were said to appear on the millionaire luxury club “Meet Rich. com”. OMG!!! Are these famous guys fond of internet dating for now?? Maybe they are indeed so rich that they feel boring sometimes to need new things?
I didnt watch the oscars this year, simply because I only saw one of the movies nominated, which was Juno. So unfortunately I didnt have any interest what so ever lol I did watch a little of the red carpet on E! but I missed a lot of people. However im sure i will be able to make up for that when they have the fashion police on.
Diddy is Dapper and J.Hud is stunning
the rock looks so good.
Wesley looks like he is dressed for Easter. damn, the IRS must have hemmed him up, if he is dressing in a Stacy Adams suit
I didn’t watch the Snubbs……Denzel Washington and Will Smith was not nominated, which was a shame…D.Washington gave another great performance and Will Smith was really good in Pursuit of Happiness……
Black don’t crack, thank you Jesus for that! Message!!! LOL!!! Ruby Dee is gorgeous, I hope I am that flawless at 60!
Heidi Klum was beautiful, just amazing so was Keisha Whitaker and Hilary Swank!
Cameron Diaz, does not look put together, so nah not her, and J Hud, I was disappointed, she usually looks better!
The Rock ad Diddy look good as well!!
I
Spike Lee looks like he REALLY wants to be there! lol
The women look great as usual!
Spike looks like Spike is true… Wesley looks like he just paid hella taxes and pulled smething out of the back of the closet….
Diddy who cares! The Rock looks good but he looks like his wax twin with that pose… love him though!
Ruby Dee looks gorgeous!
On a whole glad to see everyone looked good some better then others….
Heidi’s dress is beautiful on her! I’m mad Seal has on the skinny tie…. but I love them as a couple! Love Forrest and Keisha also… to comment on how Heidi and Keisha do it… oh well I’m sure they feel loved and are treated with respect. I could take that over a handsome jackass anyday and I am no slouch in the looks department.
@JayKay…
Tilda Swinson won for “Michael Clayton.” If you want to check folks, at least get it right.
I am one of two ways about Ruby Dee. People do get awarded for careers all the time. The white people. However, that role in particular…I didn’t see it being Oscar-worthy just because she got a few minutes of good screen time. On the other hand, Judi Dench won and Oscar in the same category for roughly the same amount of screen time. So there you go.
I think Julie Christie, who was heralded as best actress the whole season, was probably the one who had the most reason to be salty. Truly both female acting nods came out of nowhere. They were truly surprises. I was happy for the French girl and for Diablo Cody. I love that you can go from a stripper to an Oscar winner on your first try. Only in America!
But that was a pretty inspiring win. Next time it would be nice to see a sistah or brother up there with the feel good story. Well, at least Jennifer Hudson had one last year!
“Why do some black people cry foul when not EVERY black women or men are nominated for an Oscar? ”
——————————————————————————————————————–
Better yet, why do they feel as though every black person, if nominated, should win? Ruby Dee is a great actress, has been in the game a long time, but in no way did she deserve an award for her role in AG. It was nothing special about her acting in that movie.
Love Heidi and Seal.
Quincy and guest are cute.
Everybody know about Wesly’s problems.
The Oscars were pretty boring.. I saw most of the films nominated and felt the awards went to who deserved them. I love foreign films and I felt Marion Cotillard in La Vie En Rose was AMAZING!!! She became Edith Piaf!!! Javier Bardem is the hotness to me so he does no wrong in my eyes! Daniel Day Lewis is one of my favorite actors and he did his thing in “There Will Be Blood” I will stan for Ruby Dee any day but there was nothing really outstanding by her short time in American Gangster. Hopefully she can find something else to truly showcase her ability.
I don’t know if Andre Tally picked out JHud’s dress again but she looked HORRIBLE! Her boobs were on her chin! NOT a good luck ma!
Jennifer, Ruby Dee, and Shaun Robinson looks great! Dammit, Ruby Dee should have won, but whatever…
Why is Wesley Snipes ass there?
Wesley Snipes looks like a 2008 home grown Uncle Tom. I guess he paid those back taxes and he only had enough money to buy a suit at the dollar store.
WHY DOES SPIKE ALWAYS LOOK LIKE HE JUST GOT FINISHED SMOKING THE BIGGEST DOOBIE EVER?
LOL @53
WHY IN THE HELL DOES WESLEY LOOK LIKE COLONIAL SANDERS?
I LOOVE HEIDI’S DRESS.
NOW WATCH YO MOUTH WATCH YO MOUTH MISS EFFIE WHITE!! LMAOOOOO JENNIFER LOOKS STUNNING!
I agree with you 49 and 51. I’ve seen Ruby in some outstanding roles that’s much more deserving of the award. The only thing I remember from AG was her slapping the shit outta Denzel. That’s all…
I never blast Jennifer Hudson because others seem to do it enough, but I’m sorry that dress just isn’t fitting right and she knew it. She looked pretty though I guess.
Quincy Jones’ probably paid guest looks pretty uncomfortable.
The oscars were really boring this year. I was glad that Javier Bardem won for “No Country for Old Men”. He was outstanding in that film and I think he is so gorgeous and, I loved his acceptance speech.
Jennifer need to do something about them titties in that dress….!!!
Diddy looks really good all cleaned up.
