Last year it was #OscarNoms (click here) and this year it is #OscarsSoWhite… either way one thing is for sure and that is the fact that social media can’t help but notice the absence of “colour” on the Oscars nomination list.

This year there have been quite a number of spectacular movies with black actors that have received tons of nominations (and awards) from other platforms. Michael B. Jordan in “Creed”, Will Smith in “Concussion”, Wiz Khalifa’s hit soundtrack for “Fast and Furious 7”, Idris Elba in “Beast of No Nation”, “Straight Out of Compton” are just a couple of examples that have got Twitter riled up.

See reactions to the nomination list below.
