#OscarsSoWhite: Stars Weigh in on Academy Awards Controversy
<p>When the nominees for the 88th Academy Awards were announced in January, one troubling pattern continued: the Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress categories included no actors or actresses of color. This is the second straight year the Oscars have lacked any diversity in the top awards, and the reoccurrence of #OscarsSoWhite inspired everyone from Idris Elba to Charlotte Rampling to Spike Lee to weigh in on the issue, some taking noticeably different stances. Following the discussions, <a href="http://www.ew.com/article/2016/01/22/oscars-diversity-membership-changes" target="_blank">the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced big changes</a> to the group's membership practices, including new voting limits, expanding active recruitment, and the establishment of three new governor seats. See what the stars had to say about the Oscars' representation issues ahead.</p> <p> </p>
