The 87th annual Oscar nominations were announced early Thursday morning.
Take a look at the light-skinned faces of this year's Best Actress nominees:

And it doesn't stop there. The Best Supporting Actor/Actress categories both look like the same 50 shades of white:

On Twitter, the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite quickly blew up with people making "yo mama"-like jokes:
#OscarsSoWhite the show's dinner will be pumpkin flavored everything.

#OscarsSoWhite because 12 years a slave winning last year satiated our white guilt for at least 5 years.

Apparently there was not a single good performance by a person of color this year #OscarsSoWhite

A few pointed out that Academy President, Cheryl Boone Isaacs, who announced the noms, is actually black:
#OscarsSoWhite but they're not #racist because their president is black.

Isaacs was forced to respond to the nominations' lack of diversity shortly after they were announced.
When Vulture asked Isaacs whether the organization has a problem with recognizing diversity, she replied, "Not at all. Not at all."

Actor Chris Pine and Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs announced nominees before she was forced to answer diversity questions.
Many expected "Selma" director, Ava DuVernay, would make history this year as the first black woman nominated for Best Director. She was snubbed. The film did earn a Best Picture nomination, but "Selma" breakout star David Oyelowo also failed to receive a Best Actor nod.
Vulture asked Isaacs about the seeming "Selma" snub:
"Well, it's a terrific motion picture, and that we can never and should not take away from it, the fact that it is a terrific motion picture," she said. "There are a lot of terrific motion pictures, it's a very competitive time, and there's a lot of great work that has been done. I am very happy that Selma is included in our eight terrific motion-picture [nominations]."
There's clearly a diversity and gender divide within the Academy. According to one report, Oscar voters are nearly 94% Caucasian and 77% male.
