Generality: He assumes that the academy did not recognize the film as much as they should have, because of the demographic of the academy (mostly older white males), and last year "12 Years a Slave" won an Oscar to take care of "the black thing".
Analogy: Carr points out similarities between the representation of women, and of African-Americans at the Oscars. After the first woman to win best director won in 2010, she has not been recognized since, because (perhaps) the academy felt they had taken care of that situation.
Sign: If the Academy Awards were not corrupt, then "Selma" would have been given more attention.
Causality: The academy's decision to not award "Selma", has caused them to appear more superficial than before.
Authority: "As someone who once spent a great deal of time reporting on the ins and outs of the Oscars," Carr shares that he has experience, and has learned a lot about the Oscars.
Principal: Carr believes that minorities are underrepresented at the Academy Awards, despite having quality work.
