#OscarsSoWhite

#OscarsSoWhite is a social media movement that emerged in 2015, highlighting the lack of diversity in the Academy Awards nominations. It criticized the predominance of white actors and filmmakers nominated for Oscars, especially in major categories, while people of color were often overlooked. The movement sparked widespread discussions about racial representation in Hollywood and the need for greater inclusion in the film industry. It led to increased scrutiny of the voting process and prompted the Academy to implement reforms aimed at diversifying its membership and voting practices, reflecting a broader call for equality in the entertainment industry.
