All 20 of this year's acting contenders are white. So what? There are no women in the directing or writing categories. So what? The hashtag #OscarsSoWhite on Twitter is unnecessary bellyaching. Africa made the the nominations with Mauritanian Abderrahmane Sissako's critically acclaimed "Timbuktu" competing for the Best Foreign Film Oscar.

Politics should be separated from the Oscars and it would be stupid to use racial diversity and equality to determine the nominations and winners of awards whether in the Arts or Science...
