Star Wars director JJ Abrams has said “there is never a bad time to be inclusive” as Hollywood counts down to its biggest night of the year.
JJ, whose film The Force Awakens is nominated for five Oscars at Sunday’s ceremony, said the current conversation about diversity had to happen.
Arriving at the annual US-Ireland Alliance Oscar Wilde Awards held at his production company Bad Robot, JJ said: “I think it is never a bad time to talk about being inclusive and the irony is its just good business.
“Everyone talks about it in this way like it’s this other thing, but it’s not going away and it’s smart.
“When you are inclusive and you have different voices other than the usual suspects you have better stories and more interesting stories, you get performances from people on camera and behind the camera.
