Steve McQueen: Oscar diversity issue can be watershed moment
Years a Slave' director Steve McQueen hopes the ongoing controversy surrounding the lack of non-white acting nominees at the 2016 Oscars will be a "watershed moment" for the industry. McQueen becomes the latest top star to join the debate over the lack of inclusion at the 88th Oscar Awards. "Hopefully, when people look back at this in 20 years, it'll be like seeing that David Bowie clip in 1983."
McQueen became the first, and currently the only, black director to win a best picture Oscar when '12 Years a Slave' took home the gold in 2014. Lupita Nyong'o also won best supporting actress for her role in the film. In the two years since, however, all the nominees in the Oscars' acting categories have been white. Continuing to use MTV as a comparison, McQueen said, "This is exactly like MTV was in the 1980s. Could you imagine now if MTV only showed music videos by a majority of white people, then after 11 o'clock it showed a majority of black people? Could you imagine that happening now? It's the same situation happening in the movies." McQueen doesn't blame the Academy alone, though, which recently announced a sweeping reform of its membership policies to allow for a more diverse membership. The "real battle" lies in the movies that hit theaters, the filmmaker said. "One could talk about percentages of certain people who are Academy members and the demographics and so forth, but the real issue is movies being made," he said. "Decisions being made by heads of studios, TV companies and cable companies about what is and is not being made. That is the start. That is the root of the problem,"
