Oscar overhauls membership, voting rules to promote diversity
The
film academy is pledging to double the number of female and minority
members by 2020, and will immediately diversify its leadership by adding
three new seats to its board of governors. Academy president Cheryl
Boone Isaacs announced the changes on Friday, following a weeklong storm
of criticism and calls for an Oscar boycott after academy members
nominated an all-white slate of actors for the second year in a row.
