Oh please, a standing ovation?

How is my comment idiotic? Her performance did not deserve a standing ovation. I don't agree with the poster who said it's because she is black. I honestly do not think her performance warranted a standing ovation, no matter what colour she is.
What's truth got to do with anything? -

Ranting? Hardly. A couple of sentences isn't ranting.
Christopher Plummer has been in the business for almost 60 years and it is a crime he has never won an Oscar before now. He deserved his ovation.
"Rant" over.

The Oscars are often hard to take seriously because most of the time it's all about momentum. There were some amazing supporting performances in 2011 that didn't even get nominated, Shailene Woodley and Carey Mulligan comes to mind. Both of those performances were better than Octavia's in my opinion. It's not Octavia's fault, she did the best she could, but her role consisted of being sassy to the white people. A shame that the academy decided to award her, because not only was it just an average performance, but it also enforces the stereotype that a black woman has to play a maid in order to get an Oscar.

The othe5b4r poster mentioned "white guilt" that's a racists way if taking credit away from her hard work. They complain that blacks feel entitled, but cringe when they achieve. She has played numerous but roles and worked her way to the top of her profession.
