There are quite a lot of people out there who can't understand that out of the twenty slots in the acting categories there isn't a single one occupied by an actor of colour.
Many artists have spoken out, most notably Jada Pinket Smith who has suggested that black actors should boycott the Oscars next month in response to the snub.
However it seems there are some members of the black acting community that want Jada to pipe down. Or at least there is one person. Janet Hubert.
Yeah that was our first reaction too. Janet Hubert was the original "Aunt Viv" from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
She doesn't share Jada's point of view and took to Facebook to voice her opinion on both Jada and Will's performance in Concussion.
Yeah so it seems like Hubert still holds a grudge with Will Smith since her Fresh Prince exit.
Needless to say the video has gotten Twitter excited.

Aunt Viv made valid points today. She's also a little loony and has been grinding an ax for 20 yrs. Both things can be true.
