Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert C. 1994
These films deserved every accolade they earned - the Academy members were right on.
To what do you attribute this change? Is it only a reaction to the uproar and protesting? Would this same work be nominated in any other year as it is the best work and should be chosen? Do you think the boycotts simply made the members of the Academy look closer at films they may have not given much thought to in the past? And what about the movement by the Academy to add more young members and members of color? How do all these things fit together to give us 2017's nominations?
