21 Celebrities Who Have Spoken Out About #OscarsSoWhite

The director, who won an Oscar in 2014 for 12 Years a Slave, is the only black person to take home the award for best picture. Steve told The Guardian, "One could talk about percentages of certain people who are Academy members and the demographics and so forth, but the real issue is movies being made. Decisions being made by heads of studios, TV companies and cable companies about what is and is not being made. That is the start. That is the root of the problem." He continued: "I'm hoping in 12 months or so we can look back and say this was a watershed moment, and thank God we put that right."
