VIDEO : Oscars Kick Off Diversity Campaign

The Oscars have instituted a landmark campaign to diversify the mainly all white male Academy Award voters who decide which actors, movies and filmmakers earn recognition.But Hollywood's highest honors may remain a predominantly white affair for some time to come. Amid an outcry against a field of Oscar-nominated performers lacking a single person of color for a second straight year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced a sweeping affirmative action program pledging to double female and minority membership by 2020. Others say the Oscars merely reflect more systemic hurdles faced by minorities and women in Hollywood as a whole.
