Academy Awards

Check out ten things Buzz learned from the 88th Academy Awards.

At issue in the news (and on the Morning Show) recently has been the disproportionate number of Academy Award nominees of white ethnicity in comparison to those of any and all other races combined, i.e. #OscarsSoWhite. While some have questioned whether any non-white actors even deserved nominations this year, others have said non-white actors "need to stop whining" and focus on more important things. Uhh, about that:

For the second year in a row not a single Academy Award nominee in any of the acting categories are black. This has caused a lot of commentary and talk of boycotts. Some of it comes from the people you'd suspect like Al Sharpton and Michael Moore. Plenty of minority celebrities seem to be honestly concerned about what seems to them like a white-out.

Chris Kyle's wife Taya attended the Oscars last night in style as "American Sniper" was nominated for several Oscars.

The Academy Awards aired this past Sunday night and I had some observations about the show.

See this while you still can! Having done a parody song or two, you can appreciate a true artiste when you hear one. Buzz may not like "Family Guy", but you have to give it up to Oscars host Seth McFarlane, who made more than one actress uncomfortable with his hilarious intro, "We Saw Your Boobs". Brilliant.

So, the morning crew began discussing this morning which they'd prefer to be awarded: An Academy Award, an Olympic gold medal or the power of invisibility? Buzz, Monster and Duke all picked invisibility. Duh! They're men! And Teresa went the honorable route, picking the Olympic gold medal and representing her country. Which would you go with?
