Oscars Make Strides in Diversity But Is It Enough

Four Black actors earned acting nominations this year – Will Smith ("King Richard") and Denzel Washington ("The Tragedy of Macbeth") for best actor, and Ariana DeBose ("West Side Story") and Aunjanue Ellis ("King Richard") for best supporting actress. But that's down from a historic nine people of color in 2021. All nominees for best actress and best supporting actor are white.
