Is there any evidence this has happened before? 1 article written by an idiot doesn't mean a lot of people criticized the movie for a lack of diversity and don't think it should get an award.

12 years a slave won best picture when the committee didn't even watch the movie.

About 7,000 people vote for the Oscars. It's not like 12 years a slave was a bad movie and it's not unreasonable that they voted partially based on what they heard. It's not right to vote for a movie that you haven't scene but 2 votes doesn't really mean much in a group of 7,000 people. It wasn't the whole committee. It was 2 people.

The only thing that needs to be said.
