Actress Jada Pinkett Smith, who did not appear in any nominated films, posted a three-part comment on Twitter.
“At the Oscars…people of color are always welcomed to give out awards…even entertain,” she wrote. “But we are rarely recognized for our artistic accomplishments. Should people of color refrain from participating all together? People can only treat us in the way in which we allow. With much respect in the midst of deep disappointment.”
And this year’s Oscars host, Chris Rock, also referenced the lack of diversity on Twitter, posting a 15-second promo clip on Friday, January 15, with the caption, “The #Oscars. The White BET Awards.” The Academy Awards will air on ABC on February 28.
