Oscars Diversify: Half of First Dozen Presenters Non-White, And Only White Guy (Spider Man)

Share

The Academy Awards are already shaping up to be a great night. The first 12 presenters have been announced. Half of them are not white and only white guy is on the list– Tom Holland, aka Spider Man. If all the announcements are like this, it’s going to be a much more embraceable night. Chadwick Boseman, aka the Black Panther, is in that first group.

My guess? Everyone from “Black Panther” will be seen on Oscar night– it’s an ABC/Disney tie in with the Oscars and Marvel of positive synergy. After all, Lupitz Nyong’o has an Oscar, Michael B. Jordan will get one eventually, Daniel Kaluuya is nominated for one this year. And the world has to meet Letitia Wright. The stars are aligning nicely!
