At this year’s Oscars, many were angry at the lack of diversity in the nominations. Women and people of color weren’t nominated for many awards, leaving many people upset.

These controversies aren’t anything new, there have been many before.

In 2015, April Reign created #Oscarssowhite after all actors nominated for lead and supporting acting categories were white. The hashtag took off and was revived the following year when the situation was repeated.

This year, many were disappointed in the lack of people of color and women who were nominated for important categories.

At the Golden Globes, many were upset over how many white men filled most of the nominations, leaving out women and people of color.

The lists for Best Director consists of Quentin Tarantino, Todd Phillips, Bong Joon-ho, Martin Scorsese, and Sma Mendes. Best Cinematography has Robert Richardson, Rodrigo Prieto, Roger Deakins, Harin Blashke, and Lawrence Sher. Almost all of these awards are dominated by white men.

To some, the nominations of Cynthia Erivo for her work in “Harriet” and Boon Joon-ho in his work in “Parasite” barley seem to avoid a repeat of #Oscarssowhite.

Sophomore Rebecca Miller said, “When I look at the Oscar nominations, there were a lot of white men nominated for things, even though there are plenty of other movies made by people of color, women, and people of all sorts of sexualities. They’re all made and produced, some of them are not even indie movies, and yet the Joker still got nominated 11 times.”
