David Oyelowo is brushing the dirt off his shoulders after being snubbed by the Academy for his portrayal of Martin Luther King Jr. in the movie Selma. And he’s hitting back very hard. David points out:
Black performers have been singled out for awards “more for when we are subservient, when we are not being leaders or kings or being at the center of our own narrative.”

“Over the next few years we expect to continue financing our original content expansion with long-term debt,” Hastings and Wells wrote in the letter. “As long as the maturities are spread out, and the interest cost is built into our content budgets, we think long-term debt is the best way for Netflix to finance the production of content.”
Finally, this new Divergent Series: Insurgent poster has us counting down the days until February 25th.
