After not a single black actor or filmmaker was nominated in any of the major categories and with Hispanic filmmakers again only being represented by Alejandro González Iñárritu , the awards were criticized by celebrities including George Clooney and U.S. President Barack Obama , who asked " Are we making sure that everybody is getting a fair shot ? " Coogler 's widely praised film '' Creed '' earned just a single nomination for Sylvester Stallone in the Best Supporting Actor category , while it was the great winner at the recent Black Reel Awards , where it earned a total of five awards , including Best Film , Best Director ( for Coogler ) , and Best Actor ( for Michael B. Jordan )
