Chris Rock hosted the 88th Oscars that drew plenty of criticism when the nominees were announced and little to none African-Americans or people of minority ethnic groups had been nominated. The hashtag #OscarsSoWhite followed the award show from the time the nominees were announced until the award show. All eyes will be focused on the ethnicity and gender of those who will be nominated tomorrow morning. Will the Oscars repeat last year’s disgraceful omission or will there be a variety of people and ethnic groups represented in the nominees? Deadline addressed last year’s controversy in a new article that points out that true film diversity should be more than a black and white issue as there are more than two ethnic groups in films. Do you think that there should be more categories to address each ethnicity? Should there be categories for best African-American actor, best Caucasian actress, best Hispanic actor etc.? How can award shows ensure that everyone is getting fair representation? Here is Deadline‘s article “Oscars are Black and White, But Not Brown.”

Last year, Chris Rock joked that Kevin Hart would assume hosting duties this year, but that wasn’t to be. Jimmy Kimmel has a huge fan base and many people are sharing their excitement on social media networks for his hosting the show.
