Alejandro G. Inarritu Comments on Oscars Diversity Controversy
Mexican filmmaker Alejandro G. Inarritu believes that, while it's a great start, more needs to be done as we broaden the reach of the Academy to include minorities.
"The demographic complexity of this country should be reflected not only at the end of the chain, but since the beginning, in order that more of these people can be excited and integrated," the director said, speaking at the Producers Guild of America's breakfast panel.
"These changes the Academy has made are a great step, but the Academy is at the end of the chain. Hopefully these positive changes can start from the beginning of the chain.... Cinema is a mirror by which we often see ourselves. That's the role we play as filmmakers. If that power is not transmitted on the screens, there's something wrong."
