Awards in everything are so overrated, I don't care what field it is. Film, Sport, Writing, Newscasting, dog shows...Who cares if some panel of idiots decides who was the best at pretending to be a cowboy? Wouldn't a better metric of whether Hollywood is racist be calculating the ratio of leading roles/prominent jobs for different races at major studios? Is Creed any less of a successful/good movie because MBJ didn't get nominated for an award he wouldn't have won anyway? Is Johnny Gaudreau's career going to change one bit because he didn't win the Calder? I would almost gaurantee that both he and Jarome being the humble hardworking guys they are don't give two ####s about not winning the Calder/Hart Trophies.
Pinkett Smith is just plugging for her husband and Spike is a race baiting ######, it's pretty insulting to actual victims of racism for them to banging on about nominations at the World's Biggest Circle Jerk.
Also Idris Elba as James Bond would be seriously awesome, I hope that happens.
