[ laughter ] to be able to present it as a part of our learned and shared history. >> that's right. >> jon: that we no longer deal with. >> that's right. interesting because we opened the film with king accepting the nobel prize a time when he's at the height of his powers. and at that time if you read commentary and column talking how we have gotten passed racism because he got nobel prize. this is thick is not new. the idea that that one achieve ment just cleans the slate for everything else. it's interesting. >> jon: very interesting the way that you portrayed because it humanizes him to a large extent in that he chose certain moments for their cinematic quality at times. he had to be careful and cautious about what moments could represent his highest aspiration. you show him suffering as he watches individuals be punished f

neither did they get best director or david oyelowo, his incredible portrayal of martin luther king jr2 years a slave picked up academy award for best picture and supporting actress and best screen play this year will be the whitest oscars since 1998. that's because all 20 acting nominees this year are white. also this year's oscar's five directors and 14 screen writers nominated are all men. there were high expectations for the movie "selma" in the buildup. they thought it was best actor and that ava duvernay had the chance to become the first black woman ever nominated for director. it is not unreasonable to suggest the controversy might have played a role in the academy's decision not to give them more nominations. could there be another reason for the snub one that has to do with a complete screw-up, by movie's own studio. i have a cold with terrible chest congestion. i better take something. theraflu severe cold doesn't treat chest congestion. really? new alka-seltzer plus day powder rushes relief to your worst cold symptoms plus chest congestion.

and another big snub david oyelowo who plays martin luther king in "selma."and extraordinary performance and also add some diversity to the mix of candidates this year nominees. so stephen carell who was nominated, seems to be in the place of david oyelowo. "foxcatcher," a movie that had come and gone in the awards discussion. discussion of the movie, mark shultz, the wrestler attacking the movie on twitter, attacking the director bennett miller. the moment seemed to have passed but came back in this discussion. and the other snub clint eastwood did not get a nomination for "american sniper." seemed a sure thing but he didn't get it this year. >> reaction around the studio. joanna coles, your take? >> what is exciting this is not going to be a rerun of the golden globes. we have "american sniper" back. interesting, no female directors in this. >> right. >> selma got a best movie nomination -- >> but not its director. >> angelina completely locked out. >> wow yeah. >> and the photographer nomination for "unbroken," nothing else. so sort of a mixed showing for

it began with our leading man david oyelowo, who so desired this be in the world. he made it so.e brought me on board. he brought oprah winfrey. an example of an actor taking charge of his own destiny. knowing this story spoke to such a larger time and issue. i am fortunate a friend basically got me this gig. >> him being a friend. >>there has not been a film about someone so pivotal in the history of america. >> when we talk about the full journey -- >> documentaries. >> never a cinematic, theatrical major motion picture. a retelling and approach since the 50 years of the events we chronicled. you have been bioethics about other folks, but king has a was been treated tangentially. just part of the atmosphere. >> why? >> a big part is it is a complex , tender time in our history that is a challenge to delve into. walk away from unscathed in a way. there are so many perspectives and points of view about what the time was, who he was, what was going on. >> that is what makes it so rich. parks a lot of people to please though. that is one of the reasons there have been folks that ha

i thought the director could get nominated, the actor david oyelowo could get nomt nated. overall the best picture race is eight movies that have all not made a lot of money. the highest grossing of those eight is actually request the grand budapest hotel" with $59 million. that will change because "american sniper" is opening in wide release. it's going have the biggest hit. but moves like "gone girl,". >> no big blockbusters. >> where do you think the race is for best actors? >> between michael keaton in "birdman" and eddie redmayne "the theory of everything." unless they thought bradley cooper got the three. but i think he's got a little bit of ground to cover. >> but he has hollywood likes. >> yeah. but do you give the edge to michael keaton. after his speech people were touch and moved by that. >> i think it depends what people want to recognize. if they want to go through this really technical performance and also the kind of career michael keaton has had, then that's the choice. but you can't count out eddie redmayne because that tugs at your heartstrings. what an i

but everybody thought david oyelowo was definitely a shoo-in. so a lot of surprises this morning. >> let's take "selma" off the table for just a second. i mean every year you get this controversy over certain snubs. but what are some of the other ones outside of "selma" that have some people talking today? >> well definitely clint eastwood for "american sniper." everybody thought he was definitely being nominated. also jennifer aniston for "cake." she had an amazing performance. she was nominated for golden globes. we thought that she was definitely going to get her first acting nomination. but unfortunately she did not get that. mary ann cutier was nominated for "two day, one night," she has an oscar but she was definitely a surprise. >> there are always sprys. >> get some >> there was a twitter frenzy when they mispronounced the name of ooh best director nominee. >> we posted a story about the flub and the social media reaction in the entertainment section of our nbc washington app. >>> a big proposal could give thousands of you more flexibili

david oyelowo who played martin luther king jr. birthday of dr. king no less. and nearly lost in the uproar no women on the list of best director or best screen writer nominees. back with me is frank brune. let me first ask you. 93% white. 76% male. coincidence or causal? >> i think it might be a little bit of both. they gave the best picture to "12 years a slave." it's not that they're incapable of recognizing a movie with a black cast and black screen writers. i think it's partly internal politics and stuff i don't know about. and partly that yes, they're very narrow view of the world. narrow view of true hollywood. >> i also wonder if you're relying on the oscars to be an accurate barometer of progress you better be ready for disappointment in life. >> you can't nominate -- that's true of the movie industry too. you can't nominate what hasn't been made. they feature the kind of color and all of that you're seeing in the nominees. almost all the best picture nominees are stories of great men or nominated by male actors. you can't

mising out were david oyelowo and the film's director who could have become the first african-american woman nominated in the category. >> people have been try for years to make this better but the academy isn't honoring women that make good films. >> reporter: steve carell will go up against bradley cooper for best actor along with "the imitation game" benedict cumberbatch. but many see a two-man race between eddie redmain of "the theory of ever" and michael keaton of "birdman." >> anything could happen there. too close to call. >> reporter: reese witherspoon and marion cotillard past winners were nominated for best actress. but moore is a heavy favorite for "still alice." >> she is definitely the person to beat. i don't think anyone's even close to her at this point. >> reporter: the award will be handed out february 22nd. mark barger, nbc >>> we asked you to weigh in. how do you see most of your movies? instead of going to the theater looks like most of you are waiting for it to come out on cable or on demand. >>> less fried food more fruits and vegetables. this is par of a new heal

david oyelowo, "selma." eddie redmayne "the theory of everything." wow, what a category. the golden globe goes to -- eddie redmayne, "the theory of everything." [ applause ] >> oh my god. what an extraordinary thing. it's a great privilege for me to be in this room. i had to spend most of the evening to prevent myself from falling over actors that i have long admired. i apologize mr. duvall. being among these actors in this category is an extraordinary thing. this was a huge privilege, stephen, jane, jonathan and the hawking family let us in their lives and entrusted us with their story and stephen hawking has lived passionately and full of humor was one of the great honors of my life. i would like to thank our producers and my producers and my wonderful director who held my hand as i had panic attacks daily. felicity jones, the most formidable actress that raised my game. my wonderous team of agents and hannah my wife of a couple of weeks ago. i promised the sunshine. wasn't so great today. i thank you and i thank the hfpa for giving me and us a night at the end of our h

. >> david oyelowo. >> yes, he plays dr. king.he film was chosen in some categories, best picture, best song, and it wasn't chosen and others. >> and best picture, which is nothing to sneeze at. >> you know the twitter hashtag #oscarssowhite. so many people shocked that your name was not announced, and david's as well. oscar voters are 90% white 76% male, the average age is 63 years old. do you think that has anything to do with it? >> i think folks see films, see history, see art, see life through their own lens. when there is a consensus that has to be made by certain group the consensus is most likely going to be through a specific lens. unless you're's diversity amongst the people that are trying to come to a consensus then there will be a lack of diversity what the consensus is, if that makes sense. being here at sundance is a great example of a group of organization that is made a commitment to diversity. that have considered diversity is one of the talking points. i won best director here in 2012, but i was the first black

but the academy denied actor david oyelowo a best actor nomination and missed out making history by refusingrican-american woman for best director. many publications are questioning what happened, pointing to the predominantly old, white and male academy voters for the snub. but some like "variety" suggests the fault lies with "selma's" studio paramount pictures for not mailing free dvd screeners to guild voters. the oversight sparked debate even within the celebrity world. last night just hours after the nominations were announced actress jessica chastain gave an impassioned speech about diversity in hollywood. >> today's martin luther king jr.'s birthday. so it got me thinking about our need to build the strength of diversity in our industry. and to stand together against homophobic sexist misogynistic, anti-semitic and racist agendas. martin luther king jr. said our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. and i would like to encourage everyone in this room to please speak up. thank you. >>> so toure, what do you make of the snub? does hollywood have a diversi

>> ifill: you have been nominated for golden globe, best director, first african woman ever david oyelowo the best actor. why didn't you call this king since he was the central figure. >> selma is not king only. i felt adamant that it be broaden to include the community of people who came together to make this so. it's not a monolith. there were all kinds of ideas to achieve the goal. that's what we talk about in the film. a bunch of different organizations people, personalities, how to get there and keep their eye on the prize but they did and came together around the voice that amplified the message. that was the beauty of king. he was a leader of people so you have to show the people to understand the greatness of the leadership and to not do that is missing a great opportunity. so it's important to deconstruct our heros whether king or l.b.j. and distill their relationship down to key scenes. it wasn't always smooth. these were two great minds who often were in a chess match. to say this was a skip in the park and they were holding hands the whole way is to really be disingenuous abou

meanwhile, david oyelowo came to the defense of benedict cumberbatch for a statement he made last week i think as far as colored actors go it gets really difficult in the u.k. i think a lot of my friends have had more opportunities here than in the u.k. that's something that needs to change. >> in case you missed it the oscar-nominated star did face a massive twitter backlash for his you of the term "colored" a some of you are still mad, which is why oyelowo, who plays in "selma" said this in his friend's defense. >> i think people need to focus on what he was actually saying >> now, in truly british fashion, cumberbatch also released an epically self-deprecating statement that reads in part i'm devastated to have caused offense by using this outmoded terminology. i offer my sincere apologies. now, do you forgive him? of course you do. and you can let us know on twitter, facebook instagram, and msnbc.com.
