The cast of Straight Outta Compton will not be in attendance at the Oscars February 28 because they were not invited, TMZ reports.
Ice Cube, who produced the movie and was portrayed alongside the other members of N.W.A, was also not invited. The site says that the invitations are generally sent to those who receive nominations. The only recognition the Oscars gave to Straight Outta Compton was a nomination for Original Screenplay, so the writers who were acknowledged were invited to attend the awards.
Ice Cube will reportedly attend the Screen Actors Guild Awards and NAACP Image Awards. The latter nominated the N.W.A biopic for outstanding motion picture, F. Gary Gray for best director and O'Shea Jackson, Jr. and Corey Hawkins, who portrayed Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, respectively, for supporting actor.

I guess they felt their appearance would cause a riot at the Awards similar to how the movie premiere would supposedly cause riots in theatres all over the country.

I wouldn't really want to be there if I weren't nominated anyway. Especially if I felt snubbed.
Not about to catch multiple camera shots of me in the crowd w/ the "I eat ass, face" all night. No Sir. -
Damn, no love for homie that played Eazy E, a dead man? He did the best out the whole cast if you ask me. Oshea Jr, that ? had a hell of an advantage. He spent his entire life with the guy he was portraying. He did a great job too, but that's gotta be some form of cheating in the acting world. I'm just saying.

I don't see any black celebrities begging to be invited...I see black celebrities waking up and calling these cacs out after 88 years of oscar racism and 2,900 trophies given out and only 31of those to black people...
