Many people in the movie world are angry that Hollywood and the movie industry are run by "old white men".People complained after the Oscar nominations came out last Thursday because all 20 of the actors in with a chance of winning an Oscar are white. In addition, there are no women in the directing or writing categories. The Los Angeles Times newspaper carried out a survey in 2012 on who the members of the Academy are. The members are the people who choose the men and women who are nominated for an Oscar. The LA Times survey found that the members of the academy were 94 per cent white, largely male, with an average age of 62. Critics say this means there is too little diversity in the Oscars.

電影節(jié)的許多人對好萊塢的這一做法表示不滿，電影產(chǎn)業(yè)是被一幫白人所統(tǒng)治的。上周四奧斯卡揭曉的提名讓人們怨聲載道，這是因為所有有機會獲得奧斯卡獎項的男演員都是白人。此外，在導演和編劇類獎項中沒有女性入圍。2012年，洛杉磯時代報對奧斯卡成員進行了調(diào)查。那些成員只選擇入圍過奧斯卡提名的人。洛杉磯時代的這項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)在奧斯卡的成員中有94%的白人，大部分都是男性，平均年齡為62歲。批判家認為這就意味著奧斯卡并沒有顯示出它的多元化。

Civil rights campaigner Al Sharpton was one of the biggest critics of the Academy. He complained that: "The movie industry is like the Rocky Mountains - the higher you get, the whiter it gets." He added that: "The lack of diversity in [the] Oscar nominations is [terrible]." He said it was strange that one of the movies nominated for this year's 'Best Picture' award, 'Selma,' was about racism, but none of the actors in Selma nor any non-white actors in other movies were up for an award. Cheryl Boone Isaacs, president of the Academy, said the members do their best to nominate the best people, regardless of their colour or gender. However, she did say that she hoped Hollywood would become more diverse.

人權(quán)擁護者阿爾·夏普頓是奧斯卡中最大的批判家之一。他抱怨道：“電影產(chǎn)業(yè)就像是落基山，你能爬多高，那就得依靠你有多白來決定。他補充到：”奧斯卡提名中缺少多元化，這太可怕了。”他說許多電影獲得今年最佳電影的提名是荒誕的，電影塞爾瑪是一部關(guān)于種族主義的電影，但是塞爾瑪中的演員，以及其他電影中的非白人演員都沒有提名。奧斯卡主席謝麗爾·布恩·艾薩克斯認為這些演員的提名實至名歸，我們并沒有考慮他們的膚色和種族。但是，她說好萊塢能夠變得更加多元化一些。
