from the Los Angeles Times....

A cartoon extravaganza: What if everyone skipped the Oscars?

What if the Oscars gave out awards but nobody showed up … except maybe Leonardo DiCaprio?

By DAVID HORSEY | 8:00AM PST - Sunday, February 28, 2016

HOLLYWOOD's glamorous Smith couple — Will and Jada — made it known early on that they would be absent from the 2016 Academy Awards ceremony because not a single non-white actor had gotten a nomination.

In subsequent days, a lively and important debate has ensued about the lack of diversity in the movie industry.

This raises the question: What if they gave Oscars and nobody came?

There are plenty of reasons, both serious and silly, that film industry folks might choose not to show up.

Los Angeles Times editorial cartoonist and columnist David Horsey ponders a scenario at this year's Academy Awards, hitting all the eeshs and oohs. We're talking racial diversity, unequal pay and — ding, ding, ding — Leonardo DiCaprio's possible lead actor Oscar.
