Black Lives Matters Protestors Attack Clint Eastwood After He Does THIS [VIDEO] Last nights Oscars were fueled by racial tension. Host Chris Rock was quick to make jokes about the debate at any opportunity he got. We decided to look back at what a multiple Academy Award winner had to say about the controversy. Actor and director Clint Eastwood is no stranger to controversy, so it is no surprise that when he was asked about the all-white Oscar nomination debate, he gave a common sense answer without censoring in him. All I know is there are thousands of people in the Academy and a lot of themthe majority of themhavent won Oscars, Eastwood told interviewers at TMZ. Eastwood went on to confess that he did not follow the drama, but commented that a lot of people are crying, I guess. The controversy of the Oscars was first sparked when notorious race-baiter Al Sharpton noted that for the second year in the row, the Academy did not nominate a single African-American actor for an award. Ever since that comment was made, people in the industry have taken sides, with the most opinionated liberals boycotting the awards ceremony altogether. The Academy has responded to criticisms by announcing that it intends to work toward becoming less male and less white. What do you think of the debate and Eastwoods comments? Chris Rocks performance?
