The Oscars 2016

The Academy Awards or Oscars is an annual American Awards to recognize achievements in the US film industry. It is the oldest  entertainment  awards  ceremony
which was first presented in 1929.

The Oscars 2016 is the 88th ceremony
and hosted by Chris Rock
at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, California
on February 28.

After the nominations were announced,
this year's Oscars
gained a lot of criticisms 
from the media and actors in hollywood
because of the lack of diversity
among the nominees in major categories, 
the nominees in these categories 
were all white actors
and snubbing black actors in the process.
Soon after,
the hashtag #‎OscarsSoWhite‬
exploded on social media
and netizens voiced their criticisms
on the white list of actors.

We must stand in our power!

We must stand in our power.
