Actor accuses the Oscars of favouring inferior black roles

David Oyelowo addressed hisundefinedduring an appearance at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

According to David Oyelowo who plays  the Academy tend to recognise black actors when they play subservient roles.

"this is truly my feeling, I felt this before the situation we're talking about and I feel it now. Generally speaking, we, as black people, have been when we are not being leaders or kings or being at the center of our own narrative."

According to David, Denzel Washington should have won an award for his Malcolm X character.

In a recent interview with undefined, the actor also reveals that he only gets a leading role is if Ryan Gosling can’t play it.
