21 Celebrities Who Have Spoken Out About #OscarsSoWhite

John, who took the stage to help introduce the Oscar nominations earlier this year, weighed in on the controversy during the Sundance Film Festival. "Pushing diversity forward is not only a major step that we all need to take, but it's a responsibility that we should be doing all around," he told The Hollywood Reporter, adding, "So as disappointing as I think it is to hear about the Oscars and the lack of diversity in the announcements, I think it's a nice call to arms for the rest of our business to be talking about what movies we're making, who we're allowing to direct that, who we're allowing to be in the stories we're trying to tell."
