"Oscar's Diversity Problem" (Episode 73)

from IndieWire: Screen Talk · host Indiewire: Screen Talk

This week, The Hollywood Reporter took a lot of heat for its all-white cover of actresses in this year's Oscar race. But was that the fault of the magazine or the industry?

Additionally, Thompson shares her experiences at the Academy's Governors Awards, where she hobnobbed with Will Smith, Spike Lee and many others. The duo also look ahead to a couple of big fall movies that haven't screened yet, and a few that did only recently: "The Big Short" and "Creed." Plus: Thompson shares memories from working on the first "Rocky." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

AI Erik's Podcast Audio Erik Conn The AI News Podcast where we talk AI. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
