Cheryl Boone Isaacs Doesn't Think the Academy Has a Diversity Problem
LatestThis morning we learned that the 2015 Academy Awards will be one of the whitest in recent memory. Not a single person of color was nominated in any of the acting categories and with the snub of Selma‘s Ava DuVernay, no women were nominated for Best Director.
In 2013, the LA Times found that the voting population of the academy was 93 percent white and 76 percent male. By most accounts, that would signal that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has a bit of a problem cultivating and recognizing diversity.
