Are Oscars Subjective But Right?

Why Oscars is subjective but right.
On February 28, the 88th Academy Awards will be hosted by a black comedian, Chris Rock. When the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences takes the stage at the Dolby Theatre, the audience of more than 30 million people will hear from a black woman, Cheryl Boone Isaacs. Yet when it's time to give out little gold statues to the best actors of 2015, there will be no non white performers giving an acceptance speech. For the second consecutive year, of the 20 nominations available to actors, not a single one went to a person of color. It's the first time since 1980 that the Oscars have gone without any non white acting nominees for two years running. Immediately after the nomination ceremony

Nomination announcement spark immediate response from big names in movie industry. Acclaimed director Spike Lee and actress Jada Pinkett Smith decided to boycott this year's Academy Awards over the lack of diversity among nominees in the major categories. Lee expressed his frustration with the Oscar on Instagram "We cannot support it and (I) mean no disrespect to my friends, host Chris Rock and producer Reggie Hudlin, president (Cheryl Boone) Isaacs and the Academy. "But, how is it possible for the second consecutive year all 20 contenders under the acting category are white? And let's not even get into the other branches. Forty white actors in two years and no flava at all. We can't act?! WTF!!" Spike Lee in his emotional response acknowledged the president, producer and the host of the ceremony and don't see a diversity problem but he questioned the event that happened again after more than 25 years. Such unusual circumstances we all can described as once in a blue moon.

This year, Alejandro G. Iñárritu last year Oscar winner for best director nominated

And by subjective we often mean arbitrary but with standards. And for many of movie enthusiasts Oscars almost never get it right. Alfred Hitchcock never won one; Barbara Stanwyck never won an Oscar; Robert Mitchum never got a Best Actor nomination. The intersection between the art of movies and the Oscars is very confusing for many movie lovers at best. And of course because or despite of that very fact many great actors who represent minorities have won Academy Awards - Lupita Nyong’o was Best Supporting Actress in 2014, Morgan Freeman got the Best Supporting Actor award in 2005 Forest Whitaker was named Best Actor in 2007, Halle Berry won Best Actress in 2002 to name just a few. Many more have been ignored. And this year favorite Idris Elba for supporting actor nomination one of the unlucky ones who was overlooked. In fact, 21 of 24 experts at awards prediction site Goldderdy.com expected him to receive nomination this year. Should the Academy explain itself? I don't think
