Oscar Nominees Announced

By Armand Bogossian on Apr 29 th 2019

The next year, the nominations were announced to celebrate the films of 2015. Straight Outta Compton and Creed, two of the largest hits of the year, were overlooked for any nominations of color. Only the two white writers of Straight Outta Compton were nominated, along with Sylvester Stallone in Creed. This left out all contributors of color to these two films when it came to Oscar nominations. Then for the second year in a row, all 20 acting nominees were white. In response to the nominations, #OscarsSoWhite began trending on twitter. Many celebrities showed support by tweeting using the hashtag and quickly after this the movement officially began.
