as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. And the Wilshire Blvd.-facing, glass-encased lobby of the organization's Beverly Hills headquarters has been boarded up with plywood for over a week now, a precautionary measure taken ahead of the protests that began last Friday in the wake of the murder ofFor many years, the Academy was loath to involve itself in social or political debates, or to acknowledge its own role in causing them.
In recent days, in particular, the Academy appears to have made a concerted decision to espouse a clear position in response to Floyd's death.on its social media accounts that reads, "The death of George Floyd is not acceptable to anyone. We stand in solidarity with our black members, colleagues, storytellers, artists and with all black people across our nation because we know Black Lives Matter. The Academy adds its voice to the call for justice.
Two days later, the Academy joined millions of others with Instagram accounts in supporting the #BlackoutTuesday movement by the image of a black square, without a caption, to indicate a day of reflection about racial injustice.
I feel like this is an easy fix, have a diverse judging committee and increase the number of judges
The ones who awarded Green Book?
'loath to involve itself in social or political debates'...lmao AYFKM?!?
Parasite just won Oscar this year. I don’t get the comments here
So basically what the article is stating is 18 of the 20 acting nominees will be black, 6 of 8 films will be “black” films and all 5 I director nominees will be women. Don’t have to remind me to skip the awards next year!
1 Black woman has won the Oscar for Best Actress in the 92 year history of the Academy Awards...smh
Like for a summer film class at NMSU w/ Dr. Rourke, 'none provides--' vs. none provide-- 'an argument,' NMSU English Dept. Chair Monica Torres wrote, 'when none of the 20-acting Oscar nominees were people of color for two consecutive years, the organization began a makeover.'
Is this a press release from the Academy? It sure reads like it.
The ‘In Memoriam’ part of next year’s Oscar show will include George Floyd.
I’m done with Hollywood and it’s self indulged importance. Academy there are bigger issues and have always been. Stop now with the we’ve rethought how we will move forward, and I love film, cinema and streaming 😠
Lol. Good one.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Alternate reality.
Did the Onion rebrand itself into The Hollywood Reporter? Gotta be satire right?
Lol holy shit. How is this real?
Zero self awareness.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiight, like they shut up about anything.
Hahaha. Nice false narrative. Loath to involve itself in social or political debates? Hahaha. Good one.
For a second there, I thought this was satire. Oh.

wow now expect black nominees galore just as some special black privilege concession. Awards shows will become a farce.
Fuck me, what a nightmare
Just expand your nominations and make it more inclusive and recognise diverse nature of film and stop recognising the typical “Oscar Bait” movies. Incentivise supporting budding actors, directors and producers from all around the world! Act on these “espoused positions”
Finally!
Inclusion is not to shoehorn a few minorities in some categories, but to give more minorities the chance to star, produce and direct movies.
