“The aperture must widen to reflect our diverse global population in both the creation of motion pictures and in the audiences who connect with them,” Academy President David Rubin and Academy CEO Dawn Hudson said in a statement. The film industry has long been criticised for its failures on representation, with the #OscarsSoWhite hashtag in 2015 and 2016 being used to highlight the lack of diversity at the prestigious awards.
The reforms announced today are intended to ensure better representation for women, racial or ethnic groups, LGBT people and those with mental or physical disabilities.
