Another HARSH criticism of the Academy Awards ... this time from Samuel L. Jackson . .. who's pretty damn upset that there weren't more black actors involved in the show.
Jackson was in L.A. yesterday, where he told a photog, "Where were the black actors?"
He continued, "I guess they didn't think we were available to read teleprompters that night ... not a big deal, hopefully it'll get better ... it wont happen again."
Jackson added, "We work in town ... they know who we are, they know we're available to be on that show to represent the people of color who are in the business in town."
For the record, there were no black male presenters during the show -- to which Jackson stated, "Hopefully they wont make that mistake again."
