Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I've gotta say, this new Oscar category for "Popular" film strikes me as racist.  Why?  Because the Academy is afraid of Black Panther, Sorry to Bother You, Blindspotting and BlackkKlansman.  They KNOW Get Out was the best film last year:  fresh, creative, about important issues, funny, scary, etc.  They dodged a bullet by giving Jordan Peele best Screenplay, but now that 12 Years a Slave has won, and this year, all these amazing films by Black filmmakers, they know they've got nothing up their sleeve to compare.  Spike Lee is long overdue.  It's his time.  But they're fighting it, fighting for sequels and cartoons and formulas that have bored us here, and only make money overseas.  They are afraid the British actors who reside in Hollywood might not stack up against these Black actors blowing our minds.  I hope I'm wrong, but it bears watching.  We have to bear witness.
