In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Academy Award nominee Brie Larson shared her thoughts on the #OscarsSoWhite criticism of this year's acting nominees. After thanking The Hollywood Reporter for their cover story about her rise to stardom, the Room star also took a moment to mention #OscarsSoWhite which this week's THR cover references. The actress wrote, "Personally, I'm interested in reading THR's article on #OscarsSoWhite. This is a conversation that deserves attention." The OscarsSoWhite hashtag represents the lack of diversity among this year's Oscar acting nominees list. It began trending last year and was re-ignited this year when an all-white lineup of actors was announced.
