The?Academy Awards?have always been more than just a celebration of talent—they’re a reflection of the industry’s shifting (or stagnant) values. The?2025 Oscars?made that clearer than ever. With?DEI initiatives under attack, conservative backlash influencing industry conversations, and Hollywood’s “progress” often feeling more performative than genuine, this year’s ceremony unfolded against a politically charged backdrop.?Conan O’Brien and Adam Sandler set the tone early, addressing Trump, Zelensky, and the media’s role in shaping the narrative—a reminder that the Oscars don’t exist in a vacuum. But how much of this was real reckoning, and how much was Hollywood?doing just enough to appear progressive without making real structural change? I dive into this tension in my latest article with LatinaMedia.Co https://lnkd.in/ger6eVsN #Oscars #Hollywood #DEI #RepresentationMatters

Inspired by all of them!
