NYC'S MAYOR AND FIRST LADY CRITICIZE OSCARS OVER NO BLACK NOMINEES

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and first lady Chirlane McCray are calling out the Oscars for the lack of nonwhite Academy Award nominees.

Following the Thursday morning announcement of the 88th Academy Award nominees, marking the second consecutive year in which no minorities were nominated in any of the acting categories, de Blasio and his wife both took to Twitter to share their opinions on the lack of diversity.
McCray posted a picture of each of the best actress nominees Thursday — Jennifer Lawrence, Brie Larson, Cate Blanchett, Saoirse Ronan and Charlotte Rampling — with the caption "!?" and five white female emojis. On Friday, she followed up her first tweet with a second Twitter post: "The ladies are talented, but they do not even begin to represent or reflect the diverse and amazing talent of America 2016."

The other day I watched O'Shea Jackson, Sr. popularly known as Ice cube while he was interviewed by Wendy Williams and when she asked him how he felt about just being nominated for screenplay, he simply said "I'm not surprised, it's the Oscars they do what they do". Something is definitely wrong somewhere.
