social media activism does work. there was this outrage. so because of the new oscar voting rules that was put into place, it allowed more diversity, more space for oscar voters to vote differently. so i don t think it s solved but we re on the right track. the films that are nominated this year, it s not tokenism, as some folks have said. they are phenomenal films, moonlight, fences, if oscar so white didn t happen, it probably wouldn t have occurred. critics are pointing out there is still this lack of asian and hispanic representation at the oscars. is this a problem that hollywood can solve? if they can solve it, they put in the work. i was so happy to see six black actors being nominated. it s a record for the academy awards but it was sad to see that, once again, latin actors and asian actors are being ignored.
