Dear White People creator not surprised by lack of Oscar nominations diversity

The creator of Netflix comedy Dear White People has said he is not surprised by a lack of diversity in recent Oscar nominations. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which oversees Hollywood’s most prestigious awards ceremony, attracted significant criticism after 19 of the 20 acting nominees were white. Only Britain’s Cynthia Erivo – nominated for best actress for biopic Harriet – stopped a potential repeat of 2016’s #OscarsSoWhite controversy.
