VIDEO : Charlotte Rampling Says Oscar Debate Is Racist Against Whites

Charlotte Rampling, a Best Actress Academy Awards nominee for her performance in drama 45 Years, has weighed in on the Oscars diversity boycott, saying the backlash over an all-white acting nominee list is "racist to whites." "One can never really know, but perhaps the black actors did not deserve to make the final list," Rampling said. Presented with the reality that many African-Americans feel like minorities in the film industry, Rampling offered a "no comment." Following this year's Oscar nomination announcements, which spawned the popular hashtag #OscarsSoWhite, controversy rippled throughout the industry. Both Spike Lee and Jada Pinkett Smith announced they would boycott the event, and Oscars president Cheryl Boone Isaacs admitted she's "heartbroken and frustrated by the lack of inclusion."
