They have yet to tell us which nominee does not belong. There are limited slots for the nominations. And they wont tell us will they. I want to know which nominee lacks the merit or is less deserving than Concussion and Compton. I only saw 2 movies so there is no way for me to give an opinion an opinion if there is a bias against Blacks. But please tell us which nominee should be replaced so we can at least get a starting point to figure this out.
