Oscar-gaala on pidetty vuoden 2023 osalta. Pettymyksensä ilmaisi Wonder Womanin ohjaaja Patty Jenkins. Tärkeimmissä kategorioissa, kuten paras ohjaaja, ei ollut mukana ainuttakaan naista. Moinen sai nyt Jenkinsin luovuttamaan kokonaan: moninaisuutta ei vain ole tarpeeksi. Asiasta kertoi Variety.
"I give up, I give up. I say that even with all of their push to have diversity. The numbers are just hugely imbalanced of who votes for these things. I sort of just stopped paying attention to it. It's still going to take a long ways to go. It's going to take a lot more to really see truly more diverse awards. I really appreciate the efforts that they're making but we have a long way to go."
Samaan suuntaan on harminsa ilmaissut Gina Prince-Bythewood, jonka elokuva The Woman King ei saanut ainuttakaan Oscar-ehdokkuutta Moviewebin mukaan.
"I'll never get over it, because what happened was egregious and ... it speaks to such a bigger issue in our industry."
