LOS ANGELES (AP) — Rev. Al Sharpton on Sunday threatened larger protests against Hollywood and the Academy Awards if the ceremony doesn't improve diversity among its top nominees.

Sharpton led dozens of protesters who marched and chanted for diversity in the film industry just blocks away from the venue where the Oscars will be handed out Sunday.

"This will be the last night of an all-white Oscars," Sharpton said, promising larger protests that will encompass several days if Hollywood and future Oscars ceremonies don't recognize diverse actors and filmmakers. The 88th annual Academy Awards have been criticized for nominating an all-white slate of acting nominees for the second year in a row, and also failing to nominate the directors or black castmembers of Straight Outta Compton and Creed.

    Yes, there should be a massive boycott of all Hollywood movies, products touted by stars, and demand that their homes be opened for homeless black people. Those multiple palaces are bought with the money from movies that black people paid for, and by the bit part black actors that helped these white actors rich. In exchange, sports will establish affirmative action polities to fill a quota of white athletes on college and pro teams.
