Spike Lee and Jada Pinkett Smith are boycotting the 2016 Academy Awards. Jada announced her boycott via a Facebook video posted today.
This isn’t the first time that minorities – both of the Hollywood persuasion and us regular folk – have been up in arms over the lack of diversity in the nominations. This year, there is not ONE person of color nominated in a top category.
Pinkett remained the epitome of class during the video, making sure to wish this year’s host, and friend, Chris Rock good luck.
