“It was a big day for ‘1917’ — the year, not the movie. Though the movie, too, but 19 of the 20 acting nominees are white people. No women were nominated for best director. That’s fewer minorities than in Donald Trump’s cabinet, so… .” — JIMMY KIMMEL

“Democrats in Hollywood are always talking about how important diversity is, but they’re the ones who always seem to end up celebrating a bunch of white people.” — TREVOR NOAH

“The nominees are so white, this year’s Oscars are being held at Pottery Barn.” — JIMMY FALLON

“Those aren’t just all male directors — those are all very male movies. Like if you take out ‘Parasite,’ women probably have 10 minutes of dialogue in all the other films combined. Like, there’s no reason women shouldn’t have bigger roles in these movies, except for ‘1917’ because women weren’t invented till the ’30s. That’s a fact.” — TREVOR NOAH

“I mean, like, where’s ‘Little Women’? Personally, I love the movie. Also, the Oscar voters love the movie. It’s weird. it’s really strange because it was nominated for six awards including best picture, best screenplay, two acting nominations, but then somehow Greta Gerwig wasn’t nominated for director. How the hell does that happen? Was it just two people, like, ‘What an amazing movie!’ ‘Yeah, did you know it directed itself?’” — TREVOR NOAH
