Another HARSH criticism of the Academy Awards … this time from Samuel L. Jackson . .. who’s pretty damn upset that there weren’t more black actors involved in the show.
Jackson was in L.A. yesterday, where he told a photog, “Where were the black actors?”
He continued, “I guess they didn’t think we were available to read teleprompters that night … not a big deal, hopefully it’ll get better … it wont happen again.”
Jackson added, “We work in town … they know who we are, they know we’re available to be on that show to represent the people of color who are in the business in town.”
