White man guilty mentality.

Indeed, but has bowed to the whims of the other black actors crying racism. It's really quite pathetic on Smith's behalf.

Will Will hang out with me instead...? Since you know am not attending Oscars either.

Liberals for the most part own the media and they pander to minorities for votes. 

Yes, Rosa Parks and the entire black community boycott the Montgomery bus system for over a year, though this is a very different case.

I don't understand why Charlize theron wasn't nominated for best actress in a leading role. She was fantastic in Mad max. 

She displayed no range in that movie, therefore there was no need to nominate her.

Ah, I should have been a little more clear.

There was a boycott, but it came *after* the high-visibility event. Indeed, the mere fact that I didn't know about the boycott demonstrates my point. The boycott there was simply the way to keep up the pressure, after the fact. It wasn't a boycott for awareness, it was a boycott to drain money from the Montgomery Bus system. Boycotts are effective when they put economic pressure on a company.

In other words, if they want a boycott that would affect the Oscars, they need to get people to not watch the Oscars, perhaps even to refuse to watch movies for some period of time. But a boycott would be the wrong move anyway - this isn't an economic issue in any respect, it's a social issue. This is about respect, not rights.

I disagree that your not knowing proves your point. She wasn't the first to be arrested for not giving up her seat. The boycott is part of what made Martin Luther King Jr. so well known and showed what the movement could do when they worked together. The boycott wasn't to keep the pressure, the boycott was the pressue.

In this case the "event" could be considered two years in a row of only white people being nominated for the acting roles, but indeed in this case for the boycott to be efective would either them getting people not to watch the show or not to watch movies the show being an easier target than movies since they would have a hard time getting peopel to agree what movies need to be boycotted to prove the point.

for an efective boycott of the show they need to have many more high profile people not show up to the awards ceremony,  even if they got changes in the nominating process, the issues go much further back when the movies are made to begin with, where there isn't diversity in the making of the movies and good acting roles as well as directing, aren't cast as diverse, so for all those who don't even get offered acting roles because of race, it is an econimic issue and the awards are only a symptom of the underlying issue, not the issue itself.

We're going off-topic here but I can't see a single reason why this movie, or any actor in it, shows anything Oscar worthy. She drove a truck from A to B, and in the end returned from B to A, no story here. And all those action scenes were simple rehashes from the old Mad Max movies. Sure those Americans love exploding cars and all, but I really can't see anything special about that movie at all.
