To me that means you can realistically expect more white actor wins/nominations.
Racism definitely is alive and well in America, but I think Hollywood is past that, to be quite honest. Hasn't Leo been "snubbed" in the past?

I think saying that Hollywood is past racism is a very naïve statement. Sure minority actors can win awards if given the opportunities, it's the fact that minorities in general are not given the same opportunities, same access, in that insular old white guy studio system, that bleeds into all these other areas.
