VOICED : All white on the big night: Oscars diversity row returns

The transcript discusses the lack of diversity in the Academy Award nominees, highlighting that all top acting nominees are white for the second consecutive year. This has led to tensions in Hollywood, with notable figures like Spike Lee and Will Smith boycotting the awards. The Academy's demographics are predominantly white and male, influencing their choices. In response, the Academy plans to increase minority and female voting members. Despite these efforts, minorities remain underrepresented in directing and writing roles. However, African Americans and Latinos are significant contributors to box office sales, spending more on movies than white audiences.
