Having spent a lot of time in Mexico, I really don’t have a problem with those coming here illegally out of economic desperation or fear of drug cartels. Anyone here illegally who hasn’t broken the law should be given a work permit or a path to citizenship, particularly women with children.

I know. But OP’s quote was “This is exactly why I haven’t seen the Best Picture nominations from the past 10-20 years.” Meaning, she skipped those as well. She didn’t see ANY of them, according to her own words.

Boy, are you missing some amazing movies then. Inglorious Basterds, District 9, Up, The King’s Speech, The Social Network, Inception, Beasts of the Southern Wild, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Mad Max:Fury Road, Slumdog Millionaire, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy....

There is a problem with a lack of diversity in Hollywood. It is improving (since smaller movies are easier to make than ever) but it’s still not there.

Sure it’s not.

I thought race was a social construct.
