Hillary Clinton speaks out on Oscars' diversity problem
Hillary Clinton addressed the recent controversy over the lack of racially diverse nominees at the 2016 Academy Awards in her exclusive interview with AOL.com in Iowa, calling the Academy's response to the disparity "overdue" and that they needed to "catch up."
"I think it is overdue, but the Academy announced that they are going to be making some changes as they should," she replied when asked about the contentious issue, which has inspired many Hollywood figures to vow to boycott the award show.
Cheryl Boone Isaacs, the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, promised "big changes" in a statement released last week.
