The #OscarsSoWhite movement five years ago shook the Academy, highlighting a stark lack of BAME recognition.
Hollywood has long been known as a straight, white boys' club where the thorny issue of diversity has always been a problem.The move is part of a wider Academy initiative to advance inclusion in the entertainment industry and increase representation within its membership and the larger film community by 2025.
Academy President David Rubin and Academy CEO Dawn Hudson said they believe the new standards"will be a catalyst for long-lasting, essential change in our industry." Chair of the BAFTA Film Committee, Marc Samuelson, said they were"delighted" about the introduction of the new rules, adding that BAFTA hope to introduce universal diversity standards in all its film categories by 2014.Black Panther made history in 2019, when black artists won in in the costume and production design category
