EVENTS: THE 80TH ACADEMY AWARDS
Monday, February 25, 2008

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.

“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.”
Javier barely acknowledged her. *sigh*

#14, SHAY:
THANK YOU!!!!
I understand we haven’t always had a soft and pillowy relationship with the Aglos, lol, but really, I’ll never understand how people keep lettin a shoulder chip cause them to abandon rationale in these cases.
Not only do I get tired of my friends insisting that just because a Black actor THEY like (who says YOUR taste in on-screen talent is sound, expert, or representative of the views of people who WORK in that industry anyway??) hasn’t won anything yet there must be evil afoot, but - and here’s the kicker - THEY ADMIT THEY HAVEN’T SEEN THE OTHER MOVIES!!!!
It’s laughable, really…

Quincy Jones—what can I say… Are we not black and proud? We are the only race where men become famous, with money or without money,chose a wife or girlfriend of another race. Why is this so? and what can we do to turn this around for the next generation of black girls. Do you think it will get worse? How many famous or rich Asian, Hispanic, White, Indian,etc,etc. men marry women of another race? Do you think it is skin color,hair texture and the physical (facial) appearance of the offsprings? Kimora Lee Simmons proved that other races are just as,non-college educated, loud, opinionated,bitchy and materialistic…and I don’t buy that she is black. I know black college educated, financial successful (maybe not filthy rich) women who can’t find a date less more a husband. I live in a large metropolitan city, where it seems the “fast food” type working black boy/man even has a Latina girlfriend. I am very concerned. Did were really let all of the media/advertiser’s view of what beauty is penetrate out hearts, minds and souls?

@83
For every Quincy Jones, there are 20 “famous” or “successful” black men that have black wives. I tire of hearing black women complain about famous black men in interracial relationships when about 90% of famous black women are with the white man and have always been from the time of Josephine Baker. In addition to that, no disrespect to you, but many sisters have alienated themselves from the possibility of any long-term serious relationship with black men because they view him as the last accessory to their ensemble as if he’s a purse or something. The implication of that mindset is that some sisters think that their “empowerment” entitles them to ultimate control and decision-making in the “relationship”. Notice how you mentioned all the “college-educated, financially successful” black women that can’t get a date, lol. Do they want to get married or do they want to be wives? There is a difference. Is their “education” (more likely than not indoctrination) supposed to make them a good wife choice?
I don’t think that the black male’s choice of woman has much to do with eurocentric altered standards of beauty. It may to a degree but not to the degree that black women attribute to it. In my opinion, that excuse is a manifestation of some sisters not wanting to acknowledge their own possible shortcomings. The white man’s standards of beauty have changed in the politically correct era and whites have basically confessed to their enamorment of our features and body-type with the tanning, butt and lip implants, mimicry of our style of speech and dress, etc. Don’t underestimate the knowledge that the women of the other races have regarding the tension between the black man and woman. They’re knowledgeable of what black men feel black women are not willing to do and these women will attempt to fill that void. At the end of the day sis, examine the average red carpet event and take note of how many black men are with black women as opposed to how many black women are “alone” (with the white man/closet lesbian/or with a black man that is “not on their level”). Leave the stigmas alone for a second and take an actual tally.

So stupid, You only watdh the Academy’s if there are blacks nominated. Suppose white people said that or Rush Limbaugh(only watched whites). All hell would break lose. There are actors you know who aren’t black that deserve recogniznition too. So you are only interested in black people ? Suppose whites only voted for whites. Blacks only voted for Blacks? Where would Barack Obama be?. Why is it that black folks want everyone in the world , including, whites to give us proper credit/dues, yet we will only give folks props if they are black. Can’t you see beyond race? I guess not. You are just as racist and narrowed minded as any redneck white person I run across.

@ #2, Jenninfer Hudson was there because she is a last year’s Supporting Actress
Oscar winner and was thus presenting for Supprting Actor this year.
I usually watch the Oscars every year, tough it was boring this year.
You can’t tell me ANYONE thought they would give it to Ruby Dee….come on now!
Yes there were no main black nominees, but what movie should a black actor be nominate for 2007? (except for the Debaters - but they ain’t gonna give Denzel ANOTHER Oscar nod)

Jennifer Hudson really is pregnant.I kind of tickles me the bigotry here.I guess because she has won an Oscar no one here wants to accept the truth and only someone from the ghetto as you say it would be that stupid.This is not her first pregnancy by the way, first 2004 during Idol tour.
I kind of understand the denial,you don’t usually hate on her and she is more whit to you guys than black because of where she comes from personally, so no one can believe she would do this now and her boyfriend is not a celeb or that great looking.
But as someone else said no rumor or lie she is PREGGERS!!!!
By the way this week another blog posted this pic and called her ma, but they don’t want to get sued.Their is a lot of flack now about rumors……sorry your golden girl is preggers..that’t what we get putting people on pedestals…maybe they will get married to conceal it?????????
