According to recent sound-the- alarm- type-articles in the NYT and the L.A. Times, upcoming Oscar actor nominees are all "white". As per the articles, "the whitest since the 1980's". Also, by extension , the nominated movies are mostly about main stream "white subjects". Gee, sounds like Dargis and Scott of NYT and Goldstein of LA Times are issuing a viewer discretion advisory. The implied message of the reviewers was be sure and don't let the children see how America once functioned.
The only movie I saw was "The Kings Speech". I enjoyed its simple story of overcoming a personal impediment. It was done very well. The usual minorities with all their bullshit issues were not seen or heard.
