The list is growing.

The list of entertainers, especially actors and actresses of color, that will be boycotting the Academy Awards this year come February. Jada Pinkett Smith took to twitter to bash the Oscars saying that people of color are rarely nominated at the Oscars each year. But, she is not alone. According to WIVB:

In a lengthy Instagram post, Lee said he “cannot support” the “lily white” Oscars. Noting that he was writing on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Lee — who in November was given an honorary Oscar at the Governors Awards — said he was fed up: “Forty white actors in two years and no flava at all,” he wrote. “We can’t act?!”

 

In a video message on Facebook, Pinkett Smith also said she wouldn’t attend or watch the Oscars in February. Pinkett Smith, whose husband Will Smith wasn’t nominated for his performance in the NFL head trauma drama “Concussion,” said it was time for people of color to disregard the Academy Awards.

Then came a response from Aunt Viv--remember her?Janet Hubert, best known for playing the original Aunt Vivian on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air from 1990 to 1993 — took to Facebook to post a message for Pinkett-Smith.
