Clint Eastwood Comments On Racist Oscars Debate 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, the multiple Academy Award winner told interviewers at TMZ. Eastwood went on to confess that he hasnt been following 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?
