      Not one Trump joke ...I miss those days ...don't watch Oscars or any other award shows or any late night shows anymore (same lame jokes over and over again)... To answer the Chris Rock question ...very simple generate box office receipts and you get "paid" and possibly nominated for an award ...Why don't the women who play in the WNBA make as much as the men who play in the NBA? Why don't they get movie deals? or huge multi-million dollar advertising contracts?

      I mean, if it involves you, would you agree?
      Hollywood it's as cliquey as Comedy.
      You don't step on people's toes and given its capitalism, they can use their filmmaking means of production as they please. They also aren't forced to ve inclusive in their vision.
      They can have a vision for 10 years and as long as 1 year is inclusive ti not seem racist, in a racial typecast, they're not seen ads racist.
      They said Kevin was being greedy when the nature of Hollywood is to MAKE MONEY.
      It's a sorority. A money making sorority with its clique of favorites.

      Chris Rock is my favorite comedian, simply because I notice he sets his audience up to relax and laugh, then attack them directly. It's like Dave Chappelle said about how you can't laugh at jokes about everyone else, and when they target you pull back like it's no longer comedy.

It's very well-known that flops are often nominated over actual hits. Even so, it ain't that simple to generate box office receipts when you're not given the opportunity to begin with. Take the most dominant genre in cinema today: superhero movies. It's not a level playing field when you're required to cast a white actor for iconic characters like Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Wolverine, etc... In terms of male leads alone; Blade, Hancock, & Black Panther are each a decade apart. Hell, Shang-Chi has yet to hit theaters.
