People are furious the Oscars didn't nominate any minority acting nominees for the second year in a row

For the second year in a row, the same can be said about this year's nominations.
Twitter has once again exploded over the lack of minorities nominated using the same hashtag as last year. While both "Straight Outta Compton" and "Creed" - two movies helmed by black actors and directors - did earn nominations, those nods went to white screenwriters and a white actor (Sylvester Stallone), respectively.
Here are some Twitter reactions to the snubs for diverse nominees:
Love the nod for Stallone but really wish he wasn't the only person nominated for CREED

Started snowing when I read about today's #OscarNoms which I guess is pretty appropriate. #OscarsSoWhite

There was Beasts of No Nation, Creed, even Concussion, ain't like black actors took a holiday in 2015 #OscarNoms

No black actors/directors nominated for the second straight year. Travesty. Hope host @ChrisRock addresses this. #OscarNoms #OscarsSoWhite

Ironic that the people chosen to announce the #OscarNoms was more diverse than the nominations themselves #OscarsSoWhite
