[Mb-hair] Ossie Davis snub at Academy Awards

[Michael Butler]

MISSED WHAT YOU MENTION SOUNDS LIKE A BAD SCENE.
MICHAEL

> Dear Cybertribe,
> 
> 
> Did any of you watch the Academy Awards ceremony Sunday night?
> 
> If you did, did you notice that when the tribute was given to the movie people
> who died in the previous year one person, and only one person, had their
> picture and caption rotated and diminished by special effects?
> 
> All that I could tell was that it was a black male as the picture was so
> distorted and the caption rendered totally illegible on my television set.
> 
> I believe that the person chosen for this special, nation-wide, insult was the
> late and great Ossie Davis.  Was this snub due to a choice made by the
> Academy, ABC television, or by both?
> 
> I wonder if the people at the ceremony saw this corrupted image or a "clean
> feed" projected on their large-screen monitors?  If they saw the corrupted
> image that apparently was broadcast nation-wide, I certainly didn't hear any
> reaction from the Academy members!
> 
> The Academy and ABC should investigate this incident,  publicly announce who
> the snubbed person was and why he was so treated, and then fire those
> responsible.
> 
> Sorry for the rant, but this is one angry old white fart!  Needless to say, I
> hope that I really saw this incident incorrectly, and that it was only a
> benign "accident."  I am looking forward to comments from others who saw the
> ceremony.
> 
> 
> Blessed be with peace and love,
> John
