National minorities were again dissatisfied with Oscar nominations
Despite the record number of black actors and representatives of US national minorities on the lists of candidates for Oscar 2017, public organizations uniting them were again unhappy. According to The Wrap, the Multi-Ethnic Media Coalition expressed its disappointment with the “lack of diversity”. "Without a doubt, the multidimensional portraits of our community members are something that audiences so wanted to see, but could not showcase movie studios, thus not providing more opportunities for talent of all races and nationalities," - said in a statement of the coalition. In turn, writer and activist April Rain, who is credited with the authorship of last year's popular hashtag #OscarsSoWhite (#OscarSoWhite), also announced her disappointment with the list of candidates for the main movie award of the year. "A single instance of attention to black industry representatives cannot erase 80 years of virtually oblivion of all other ethnic groups," she wrote on her Twitter page, promising to continue the campaign she initiated. Recall that in 2016, after the announcement of the list of nominees for the Academy Award, many people of color in the movie industry announced a boycott of the ceremony due to the presence of exclusively white actors in the list of candidates. The leadership of the Film Academy promised to carry out reforms and guaranteed "diversity" in the future. The Topic of Article: National minorities were again dissatisfied with Oscar nominations. |
