VIDEO : George Clooney Says Hollywood Needs More 'Interesting Young Minority Filmmakers'

While speaking to IndieWire at the Toronto International Film Festival, George Clooney has spoken out about Hollywood?s diversity issues, saying that the real problem lies with studios and their executives, not the Oscars. In 2016, the #OscarsSoWhite controversy shook the industry when not a single person of color was nominated in an acting category, and some very well received films like Creed and Straight Outta Compton were overlooked. However, in 2017, the scales were a little better balanced, with two of the four acting awards going to black actors and Moonlight winning Best Picture. Clooney said, ?It?s less about the Academy and more about the industry. I think we need to get more interesting young minority filmmakers getting their films out. It was great to see Moonlight do what it did. I?m happy to see that. We need more of those.?
