By getting the discussion started, it sparks real change. Keep in mind that these conversations aren't for nothing, especially since the Academy now plans to double its membership of minorities and women by the year 2020. ![]() He wrote, "By the way, we're talking about African Americans. Vocalizing the need to celebrate all cultures, Rodriguez started a #MovementMonday hashtag to highlight the strong roles Latinos play in movies and why they deserve more support, while Clooney also emphasized this idea. Overall, it's great to see Union push the conversation forward in a positive direction, just as other celebrities like Gina Rodriguez and George Clooney have done. Sure, she asked, "Who's that?" but maybe she was trying to make a bigger point, that those kinds of inane remarks aren't even worth remembering or drawing attention to.

She provided a perfect counterargument, telling the Associated Press, If you don’t see yourself reflected in mainstream awards, you tend to create your own. Gabrielle Union thinks Stacey Dash is crazy. During an interview at Sundance on Tuesday, Union acted like she didn't even know who Dash was. While others were just as confused by these remarks, Gabrielle Union had a flawless response. Not only did Dash dismiss the idea, but she went as far as to say there shouldn't even be the BET Awards or Black History Month. ![]() That's why I was undeniably disappointed to hear actor Stacey Dash's comments about the #OscarsSoWhite movement. Is there any '90s movie better than Clueless? As if! Nothing can ever top Cher and Dionne's epic friendship. ![]()
