First and foremost this years Oscars ceremony was one of the most just award shows in Oscar history, well in my opinion. Justin Timberlake kicked of the show with "Can't stop the feeling" off of Dream works " Trolls " soundtrack. Starting off  with light political banter, of course ended with a shocking controversial moment as the talk of night. Pulling a "Steve Harvey" when announcing the Best Motion picture award confused everyone. Originally announced as the winner was the sensational musical La La Land, but soon enough the error was recognized by the nominees. La La Land cast seen the envelope and abruptly revealed that the winner was Moonlight . BEST PICTURE “Arrival” “Fences” “Hacksaw Ridge” “Hell or High Water” “Hidden Figures” “La La Land” “Lion” “Manchester by the Sea” “Moonlight” (WINNER) ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE Casey Affleck in “Manchester by the Sea” (WINNER) Andrew Garfield in “Hacksaw Ridge” Ryan Gosling in “La La Land” Viggo M...

What was the first thing you were taught about the African American heritage? I guess it all fell down Stacey Think long and hard before answering that question. I remember mine, simple slavery. Our history is presented to us as if African Americans only roots were being enslaved. If not slaves here in America than slaves in Africa, who were traded here to continue slavery. Disregarding African kings, queens, tribes, and indigenous culture all over the world; Kemet, Aboriginals, the Mongols, Meso-America, Nubians, etc...The other races begin from their tribes and colonies, but we began from slavery? No, you realize once you do some extended research that we (all people) were falsely educated to that accordance. Ultimately causing devalues segregation, and mistreatment that are still present in today's society. Is this intentional? Some argue no and many suggest that the mistreatment is, but ultimately that's for you to decide. As for promoting segregation such as BET, B...

First of all I love Chris Rock; he's one of the funniest comedians of our time. So him alone is one reason that I'm not boycotting the Oscars. Usually I never watch the Oscars, but I planned to watch it this year, because of the honest theatrical comedy of Chris Rock. Secondly, where were the Smiths when the rap category winner wasn't shown at the 2015 Grammys? Let me answer that, they were watching the show. Award shows have been prejudice since their beginning and clearly in 2016 there hasn't been much of a change. If you're going to boycott the Oscars you should propose a boycott for all of the Award ceremonies.  Thirdly what are the actual motives behind the Smiths boycott? In 2015 over 10 innocent black teens were gunned down and I don't remember seeing none of the Smiths raising a "race" issue then during that time. Did they participate in any events with black lives matter? No. Did they use their money or fame to help any serious ca...

A stunning performance from Michael B. Jordan and the star studded cast as the Rocky franchise continues with Creed . Jordan plays Adonis Johnson the son of the deceased heavy weight champion Apollo Creed. Adonis carries his father passion for the sport, but wants to make a name of his own, so he travels to the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia seeking support, training, and answers from the icon Rocky Balboa of course played by an old Sylvester Stallone. Eventually his secret gets out that he's the champ's son and is set for a match against the current heavy weight champion "Pretty Ricky" Colan, played by Tony Belew. What is set to be an easy match before Colan goes to prison quickly turns out to be a serious blow out.  Recently Stallone won a Golden Globe for his part in the film, which yes he deserved. However the Jordan isn't nominated for any awards for the film and I think this is ridiculous. He was the best actor in the entire franchis...
