This is the 88th Academy Awards and Chris Rock was the host. He handle the elephant in the room good, no it was not Donald Trump, but it was the black community of actors who wasn’t nominated or won. His jokes were funny. However, they need more diversity. What they need is black screenwriters and great storytellers. They have plenty of black actors, but they need jobs to perform these characters. They could take a page of Black History month. Pick a historically figure in history who inspired America to be great again and make a movie out of it. Or make them as a Superheroes.
