VIDEO : Quincy Jones Wants to Talk at the Oscars for Five Minutes on the Lack of Diversity

Quincy Jones says that he's been asked to present at the 2016 Academy Awards ? but that he's only doing it on one condition.
The 82-year-old music icon wants to talk about the absence of black nominated artists.
Quincy said,
"They called me to go present with Pharrell and Common. When I'm back [in LA], I'm going to ask [them] to let me speak for five minutes on the lack of diversity. If not, I'm not going to [present]."

Jones' words come as more black artists are calling out the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for its lack of diversity in membership and honorees. Actress Jada Pinkett Smith and filmmaker Spike Lee have both said they won't attend this year's Oscars after all 20 nominations in the acting categories went to white performers. Academy members have defended the move, and CEO Dawn Hudson has spoken out, saying it's "almost at a point of crisis."
