        did you read it all? the names I mentioned need more work. As in, the talent is there, but the resume isn't in most of their cases. I'm not saying that any qualify now. Or in 5 years. Or in 10 for some. I'm saying that those names have the best chances to be ATG's.

        What if GGG rinses all of 160-168 in the next 5 years? Wouldn't that make him an ATG?

          I don't want to hijack Larry's thread...I will say however that Oscar nominees and winners are selected by members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences reported to be 94 percent white...2 percent African American and less than 2 percent Latino in 2012.

          Dare I say that Morris Day having never even been nominated for an Academy Award demonstrates how little America has progressed towards racial equality in cinema and nothing short of an atrocity.
