entertaining, IMO.
It was awarded for MANY reasons, diversity being one them.
You have a bunch of Hollywood people voting for "best" of
in THEIR industry, what standards are you expecting?
Quality of anything (especially in the arts) has no meaning
anymore regarding ANYTHING to do with being awarded for
any percieved quality.
It all defaults to Opinions/Assholes 101.
The acting awards it received were certainly merited (again, given
the "competition").
I don't think you're necessarily a racist, but I didn't read your POV.
WE live in touchy times. Touchier maybe.
