The Oscars

[nikki25]

I stayed up to almost 1AM Monday to see and hear Halle and Denzel get their well deserved props at the Academy Awards. It was also exciting to listen to and see Sidney Poitier's tribute.

Last night, Jay Leno called the Oscars a "black sweep". I was glad about that occurance, but do believe that this was something long overdue. Incidentally, it was the lowest rating for the Oscars.

Do you think that there will be a strong Black nominee presence at the Oscars in the future? Or do you think that Hollywood might back off for a minute? I say this because there are naive people in the world who do believe that there is a connection with ratings and nominees. I wouldn't be surprised if some sly jocks stated that the Oscars were the Black Oscars.
