    The Huffington Post jumped right in the middle of the Oscar nominations by noting those actors and films "snubbed" and immediately went for the racial component by declaring these are "the whitest Oscars" since 1998. The writer even goes so far as to say
    Benedict Cumberbatch and Eddie Redmayne welcome you to the white Oscars.
    Pretty deplorable writing. I refrain from using the word journalism.

    Of course they've been doing this for years. They love to play the "snub" game. When you're not nominated, you're snubbed. Not sure how that really works. In a field of fifteen great performances that need to be whittled down to five, does that mean ten have been snubbed? If not being nominated amounts to "snubbery," then I am livid over the number of times I have been snubbed throughout my life. Not that I am in the film industry, mind you. I'm just falling back on HuffPos use of the term.

    Next year I recommend that every actor and every film be nominated. Could be in the hundreds, possibly thousands in some categories. But that should eliminate the snubbery of nominations. But then if one doesn't win, does that mean they were snubbed? Oh, hell, Oscars to all.
