Ice Cube said he’s not really planning on “boycotting” because he’s never gone to the Oscars anyway. He said the award ceremonies are basically one giant horse race, and if you lose you move on.
“We don’t do movies for the industry,” he said, “we do it for the people.”
To Ice Cube, it’s more rewarding to hear how many fans have said they loved Straight Outta Compton, and so to be upset about not getting awards on top of that is basically “crying about not having enough icing on your cake.”
