Lupita Nyong'o Is Now A Disappointed Lady Over Oscar Diversity Controversy.
She is known as the first African actress to win Best Actress in a Supporting Role and the first Mexican-born actress to win an Oscar.
She took to her Instagram account on Tuesday to share her disappointments and thoughts on Oscars class of 2016, once again, being solely composed of white actors and actresses.
Here is what she had to say;
I am disappointed by the lack of inclusion in this year's Academy Awards nominations. It has me thinking about unconscious prejudice and what merits prestige in our culture. The Awards should not dedicate the terms of art in our modern society, but rather be a diverse reflection of the best of what our art has to offer today. I stand with my peers who are calling for change in expanding the stories that are told and recognition of the people who tell them.
She then quoted James Baldwin on the caption of her post;
"Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced." #manystoriesmanyvoices
