The awards season continues to be kind to \"12 Years a Slave.\" The film is nominated for a best picture award and stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Lupita Nyong’o are up for best actor and best supporting actress awards, respectively. Director Steve McQueen is also up for a best director award.<\/p>\n

Also of note: \"20 Feet From Stardom,\" Morgan Neville’s excellent documentary about backup singers, is up for a best documentary award. And Jeremy Scahill’s \"Dirty Wars\" is also up for an award in the same category.<\/p>\n

Despite \"12 Years a Slave’s\" presence on this year’s awards circuit, Hollywood’s biggest stage is still overwhelmingly white. My colleague<\/span> Stacia L. Brown recently wrote over at Salon<\/a> that people of color are still often snubbed when it comes to actually <\/span>winning<\/em> in the big categories.<\/span><\/p>\n
