Random Thoughts Of A Wondering Mind (Lack of African American Nominees at 2011 Academy Awards)

January 26, 2011

I was just wondering if...

The casting of amateur (in regards to acting) singers in starring film roles is the reason why there is a lack of quality black actors’ presence at this year’s Academy Awards ceremony?

Now you have 50 Cent, Chris Brown, TI, being cast in roles that should have gone to Denzel and some of the younger trained black actors.

You have Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys being cast in roles that should have gone to Sanaa, Taraji, Angela, Nia and even Vivica!

But, that’s okay. I’ve got something planned for that crap!

Halle Berry is a damn fool for turning down that Aretha role because she “can’t sing.” That type of reasoning by her leads me to believe she’s more unstable than I previously thought!

Hell singers who can’t act are taking roles from real actors. It’s time for real actors who can’t sing to take back those roles from real singers who can’t act!


(*Exhale*)... That Is All!

Random Thoughts of a Wondering Mind During the Month of October!

I WAS JUST WONDERING...

1.  is the economy so bad that entire families are resorting to stealing food by going into the self-serve salad bar section of the grocery store, bagging up fried chicken, salad, grapes, then head to the refrigerated section grab soda, juice and milk, proceed to walk around the store as if shopping all the while eating the food they swiped.  When done, stash the bones and empty containers on a shelf by the canned goods, burping and licking their fingers on the way towards the exit door while grabbing a courtesy baby wipe on the way out!? *smdh*

2.  if I should purchase tickets to Fantasia's concert for fear she will tell everyone to stand up, sing with her and bum-rush the stage?

3.  why an "angry" black man with "nappy hair" don't "get a perm" and "get over it?"

4.  how did the passing of blaxploitation actress Vonetta McGee in July get past me?

5.  when is Weight Watchers going to come clean in regards to Jennifer Hudson?

6.  is Jennifer Hudson going to give the bariatric surgeon credit?

7.  will Common, Lupe Fiasco, Jennifer Hudson cease and desist from trying to proclaim 'We can do it' a Chi-town national anthem?  It doesn't even come close to Alicia Keys and Jay Z's collabo on New York.

8.  why anyone cares to see a "jackass" penis is beyond me.

Those are just a few things that wondered in and out of my wondering mind during the month of October.  Peace Out!
