When the 89th Oscar awards ceremony was broadcast on Sunday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences wanted to avoid the #OscarsSWWite bounce in the past few years.
In 2016, Cheryl Boonie Isaacs, president of the Oscar Awards, said she was "frustrated and disappointed" in the nomination and vowed to change. For this year's awards, the college has invited a new number of new voting members. Of which 46% are women; 41% are color people. The college did not respond to requests for comments on this year's awards.
But in the category other than the behavior, the history of the lack of representative groups to a large extent still not be recognized. The director continues to stand out: in the best director category, one of the five biggest prizes of the night, five people were nominated. Four of them are white.
This is certainly not new. In 2005, Lee became the first person to get the best director color. Mexican directors AlfonsoCuarón and Alejandro G.Iáárritu also received awards. Three of them have the colors of all five best directors of the victory.
But the diversity of the category is not just college. This month the USC Annabel School of Communication and Journalism is called "incorporating a director chair" to study the film's race, sex and age, and finding the problem may be an opportunity. The study found that between 2007 and 2016, women, blacks, or Asian directors did not have a percentage change in the number of top films produced.
The study examines the top 100 movies from 2007 to 2016 each year - a total of 1,000 movies. All ethnicity of ethnic minorities can not guide 10% of these films, it says. Only 5.1% of the 1114 directors are black or African-American. 3% are Asian or Asian. Of the two groups, the three directors are women. Only one Latin was designated as the director of the 1000 film.
The country's top film schools often feed those director chairs. While some schools say that they have made progress, but in other cases it is unclear how the student demographic changes, or what strategic programs pursue diversified student groups.
The state's top film program, the University of Southern California's Ann Arbor School, published the study - saying it does not share information about the student's gender, race or race.
According to the National Education Statistics Center, 34% of students at the American Film Academy, one of the nation's leading film studios - their names are students - are non-white, reflecting the average minority enrollment rate for the overall graduate program. AFI did not respond to requests for advice on whether the number of non-white researchers in the institute increased over time. But they have begun to provide women with guidance studio, providing "intensive training" narrative film production.
At New York University, another consistent top film school, undergraduate program in the first time in 2016 to achieve gender equality, art program public affairs officer Shonna Keogan told the news hours.
"Fifteen years ago, every female student had two guys," Keogan wrote in an e-mail. "Progress is progressive and stable." New York University can not provide classification by race or ethnicity.
In addition to what happened in college, the April dynasty created the label "OscarsSoWhite", saying that the time was "long past". Reign believes that not only the need for color actors and actors, but also need more opportunities, but also need the camera behind the people, such as directors, editors and photographers.
"If the studio's argument is that we want to cooperate with the traditional representatives but we can not find them, then go and find them," she said. "Create an opportunity for them to apply to your plan, You know the benefits of harvesting. They are there, they are hungry, they have talent.
