The lack of diversity among the nominees for the Academy Awards 2016 has sparked an unprecedented debate about race in the film industry.
None of the picks for the best actor and actress and best supporting actor and actress categories are from an ethnic minority.
The hashtag #OscarSoWhite, an online campaign from the previous year, has become a rallying cry for dissatisfied film stars and fans.
In response to the controversy, actors Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith will boycott the ceremony alongside director Spike Lee.
Others including actors George Clooney, Mark Ruffalo, Lupita Nyong’o, David Oyelowo, Viola Davis and British director Steve McQueen have spoken of their disappointment with the lack of diversity among the nominees.
