For 92 years, the Academy has given out 336 acting awards with only 32 awards (for 29 actors) going to people of color. Meaning, a small 9% of non-white people have won the highest award in acting. Their nearly all-white nominations frustrated Black actors on social media from 2015 to this day, with #OscarsSoWhite trending.

We’ve already talked about how I May Destroy You and Minari were snubbed as films for the Golden Globes, we’re just hoping the Oscars will be better. Because historically, only 12 women of color have won, with Black women leading the way. Japanese actress, Miyoshi Umeki, is the only Asian woman to ever win an award and only two Indigenous actors (F. Murray Abraham in 1984 and Wes Studi in 2019) have ever won. Needless to say, we are hopeful the racial reckoning America is experiencing, will give the Oscars the kick in the teeth they need.
