Hollywood's Diversity Problem Doesn't Get More Obvious Than This

Summary

The news talks about the fact that in the special issue of The Hollywood Reporter that is published every year and where they put forward some actresses who are possible candidates to receive awards for their work in tv and movies, there's no shortage of talented women of color. 
The news says that the lack of women of coulour was so palpable that the magazone had to publish it with an essay titled "Why Every Actress on The Hollywood Reporter Roundtable Cover Is White." Stephen Galloway, the executive director of THR, said that even for him, a white man, it was impossible to ignore that there wasn't any black actress. Gallaway thinks that this is appalling, but it just represents the awful truth, which is that this year there are no actresses belonging to a minority that are being nominated for an Oscar. 
Galloway gives the fault on Industry for not putting ahead many colored actresses, because he says the Academy and the magazine don't make films, they just recognize the work that the industry creates. 
An important quote has been given by Viola Davis, an Academy Award nominee, and she says you can win any award for work that doesn't exist.
