I think Ryan Coogler (director of Creed) deserved a nom, but Will Smith seemed to overact in Concussion.
The problem is not with the Academy though, I think the Academy has shown it's quite willing to nominate diverse groups of people.
It's in the Hollywood system, there's not much opportunity for black, Hispanic, Asian, etc. roles, so naturally there's not going to be a lot of them nominated.
Will Smith has it good, but who's the next Will Smith? How about an Asian actor that doesn't have to kung fu fight or an Indian actor who's not a cab driver?
