#OscarsNotAsWhiteAsUsual
The Oscar nominations were released today, and the nominated actors and actresses look different than they did last year and the year before. Well, yes in the sense that there were not zero nonwhite actors or actresses nominated in the top four categories for the third straight year. The record-setting year signals that Hollywood is at least listening to diversity-based criticism — or that the academy’s PR wing is listening anyway. The Oscars may not be so white this year, but they are still not so Hispanic or Asian — and, really, they are still pretty frickin’ white. Ruth Negga was awarded for an understated performance in “Loving.” Still, the real test for this year’s Oscars will come on Feb. 26, when the ceremony is held and the winners are announced.
