Not looking to, maybe just look into the whole process of it a bit more.

Here's a mild take on Kobe.. It is a little interesting, and there are parallels in hockey where two white superstars Patrick Kane and Drew Doughty had similar cases and it never gets brought up(it does moreso in P. Kane's case) and Evander Kane a black player has similar legal issues(exact to Doughty, a notorious asshole, in fact, who is beloved) and is almost untouchable due to "off ice" issues. Same with Russian payer Slava Voynov www.thenation.com/article/wrestling-in-with-kobe-bryants-forgotten-apology/(Regardless, K. Bryant didnt deserve the Oscar, and I think it was a move to stir up controversy, point blank.)

I only saw Black Panther and Roma (on Netflix)
Black Panther is affirmative action for the Oscars. Sorry for saying it. No Super Hero movie has ever been nominated for Best Picture. And I enjoyed the film about as much as most Marvel films. None of which would have ever been nominated.
Roma was an excellent film. I haven’t seen the others, but this is definitely Oscar worthy.

It’s not racist to say that. They nominated it to be more inclusive, which has been that complaint for these last few years.
