“I'm not pissed, I’m not surprised; it's the Oscars. The people love the movie, number one at the box office worldwide, I can't be mad,” he said.

The awards show will be hosted this year by comedian Chris Rock, who last year labeled Hollywood a "white industry."

Writing for The Hollywood Review, the comedian opined: " But how many black men have you met working in Hollywood? They don't really hire black men. A black man with bass in his voice and maybe a little hint of facial hair? Not going to happen. It is what it is. I'm a guy who's accepted it all."

The 88th annual Academy Awards will be held at Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre and aired live on ABC on Sunday, February 28.
