The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has been criticized in recent years for its lack of ethnic and racial diversity. In response to last year’s OscarsSoWhite campaign, the Academy expanded its roster to include 683 new members. Among the new members, nearly half are female and 41 percent are racial minorities. Also, 59 nationalities are represented among them.

And people of color were much more prominent at Sunday’s ceremony. “Moonlight,” a movie with LGBTQ themes and a largely black cast, won for best picture, best supporting actor and best adapted screenplay.
