SNL this week a poked fun at the fact that there are no black actors nominated for best actor at the Oscars this year.
In a fictitious awards show called the Screen Guild Awards, a handful of white actors are nominated for awards despite having marginal roles in films with primarily black talent or with a racially driven story line.
'We now move on to the award for best actor. There are so many great performances this year, it's a shame we cannot nominate more. But I think we can all agree these are the best of the best. For 'Punching upwards' as a boxing coach who wouldn't give up on his pupils, BOB Dunn,' says the announcer in the skit played by actress Cecile Strong.

In a film about rap music called 'Seven Down', a white actor in the role of Little Q is nominated for best actor despite not having an important part.
Another parody nomination was for a historic film about Thurgood Marshall, the first black Supreme Court Justice.
'I can't wait forever, Marshall. Do you love me, or your books? says the character played by SNL actress Leslie Jones.
'LIV, if I'm going to make it as a lawyer, I got to work ten times as hard as these white folk. It's the only way it's going to work,' says Thurgood played by Michael Che.

No lines: 'For "All the beasts of heaven," the story of African child soldiers and the ruthless warlords who LED them. For his role of white man with camera, Alan Smickel,' says the announcer. The winner doesn't even have a line in the film
'Hey, guys, we close in five minutes,' says the white actor played by who is nominated for the award.
The next best actor nomination goes to a white character in a mostly black film who doesn't even have any lines.
'For "All The Beasts of Heaven," the story of African child soldiers and the ruthless warlords who LED them. For his role of white man with camera, Alan Smickel,' says the announcer.
As if the last nomination weren't ridiculous enough, the next white actor nominated in a film doesn't even appear on screen.
Off screen winner: 'Finally, for "Red line," the story of discriminatory housing practices against African-Americans in Chicago. For his role as unseen voice on phone, Jacob Schultz,' quips the award presenter
'Finally, for "Red line," the story of discriminatory housing practices against African-Americans in Chicago. For his role as unseen voice on phone, Jacob Schultz,' quips the award presenter.
At the end of all the movie presentations, the female presenter says that there's a five way tie for the best actor award - and it may not come as a surprise.
'And the best actor is, oh, my god, I knew it, it's a five-way tie, all the white guys,' she says.
Each fake film at the Screen Guild Awards is modeled after the films Creed, Straight Outta Compton, Beasts of No Nation, and others that some are saying didn't get enough attention at the coveted award show this year.
This year’s Oscar's has been under fire for its lack of black artists nominated for awards. Celebrities like Spike Lee Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have decided to boycott the Oscar's due to its lack of diversity with Spike Lee saying he'll be watching the Knicks game instead.
