Best Actor Nominee Riz Ahmed On Diversity In Hollywood | MSNBC
Daily wire is hiring! No woke BS included!
Sound of Metal was great. Riz Ahmed 👏👏👏
NEVER HEARD OF HIM OR HOS MOVIE! Bye bye Hollywood 🍿
Hollywood never cared about you. 😂
@A M Oh yes they do! Who pays their inflated disgusting salaries? The people!
@N 827 Not you, though. Losing you won’t effect their pockets that’s for sure. Bye, bye.
@A M REMEMBER there are more of us than there are of you. You cheated! You will see silly 🤪
@N 827 What the heck are you talking about? Haven’t taken your meds today? 🤡
Great actor and thanks for your insiighht. Everyone should check out “”Soound of Metal”. 😢
😆🤡🐑💩
@reality 🤡🤡🤡
Diversity? Is that what y’all call quotas and tokens?
And the ratings for the Oscars keeps dropping like a rock because who cares if you can act anymore it’s what color your skin is.
Donkeys only seem to care about acting and skin color tho. All they have left is televised feelings.
You are dumb, so…😒
Diversity Hire
The Hollywood creepazoids are eating their own 😀
Wow…what a sh!t comment. 😆🤡🐑💩
Very good actor. Haven’t seen this yet but so happy for his nomination. First saw him in ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’, ‘The Night Of’ (very impressive in this role in which he was also nominated), ‘Jason Bourne and ‘The OA’ on Netflix.
@Gabe Dudley You should have stopped after the first sentence if you really admire someone else’s work. Just show appreciation, it goes a long way. Appreciation is not only showing gratitude, it also means making more of ( like stocks appreciate). Try it and you’ll have a fruitful life instead of a contentious one. Nothing good comes from picking another human apart.
@Susan Tang does it feel personal?
@Susan Tang Well said. 👏👏👏 Ignore the trolls.
@Gabe Dudley No, I feel appreciation.
@Susan Tang appreciate what? How how tough the rich have it? Yes keep thinking about hollywood.

😂😂😂 PEOPLE IN THE COMMENTS TRIGGERED BY THE WORD DIVERSITY 🤡🤡🤡🤷🏾
of course diversity is our strenght.
He was awesome in rogue one
Riz is a talented actor so the reward for him is well deserved!
What a looker!
still a lot of haters out there it seems. ok awards should be judged purely on merit. however even among ‘white’ actors there is discrimination, due to politics and sexual orientation, influence with the right people etc.
