Asked about a number of black actors and entertainers boycotting the Academy Awards, Clint Eastwood at first deflected, saying that “I don’t know anything about it.”

However, Eastwood then appeared to dismiss the protesters.

“All I know is there’s thousands of people in the Academy, and the majority of them haven’t won Oscars. A lot of people are crying I guess,” Eastwood said.
