Speaking to a group of reporters on Wednesday, US out going President Barack Obama was asked about the Academy Awards, which for the second year in a row included an all-white slate of acting nominees.

“I think when everybody’s story is told, then that makes for better art, That makes for better entertainment. It makes everybody feel part of one American family. So I think, as a whole, the industry should do what every other industry should do, which is to look for talent, provide opportunity to everybody.”
