The stuff about the Oscars and race you probably hadn’t considered. And really should.

Everyone loves happy endings, right?

The acting nominations for the Oscars for 2015 were all white. It was the whitest Oscars since 1998. I think the Academy could do better if they tried. Here’s how they can help be a force for good. With data to explain the problems! (We fact-checked all of it. The kid thing blew our minds too. Sources are linked at the bottom.)


Would you mind sharing this? And if you click the tweet button below, you can ask the Academy what they specifically are going to do to take this seriously. It’s a win-win for everyone. I’d seriously appreciate it.
