It isn't racist to not pick actors because they didn't do as good as others.

tbh i feel like carol (and rooney mara being in supporting actress) got more shafted than minority races in this oscars, except for maybe beasts of no nation but haven't seen it yet, just really love idris alba and expect him to be more qualified than matt damon


idris elba was like the only one who deserved to be nominated. none of the others were even remotely oscar worthy.


it's not an astonishing line up but michael fassbender was great


michael fassbender isn't black
