Stop whingeing about the Oscars being too white! As Hollywood snubs black actors, our star columnist BAZ BAMIGBOYE says: Sorry, most aren't good enough this year


I share some of the angst of those concerned about the 'lily white' awards, to be held in Los Angeles, but I don't feel heartbroken about this year's nominations. The simple fact is that the Oscars must celebrate and honour the best. And, I'm afraid, in my view, the movies this year with black actors and black film-makers aren't of that high quality, writes BAZ BAMIGBOYE.
