#OscarsSoWhite is a social media hashtag that emerged in 2015 to highlight the lack of diversity among nominees for the Academy Awards. The movement gained traction after the announcement of the 2015 nominees, which featured no actors of color in the major acting categories. This sparked widespread criticism and discussions about racial representation in the film industry. The hashtag became a rallying cry for advocates of diversity, prompting conversations about the systemic issues within Hollywood. In response, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences implemented changes to its membership and voting processes to promote greater inclusion and representation in future awards.
