“Congratulations to those men.”

A month ago, exactly three seconds after she’d announced a list of Oscar
nominees for best director that excluded women, the writer and actress Issa Rae

“Congratulations to those men.”

The official announcement and its condemnation, delivered in almost the same
breath on a live telecast, say a lot about Hollywood in 2020. The industry is in
the clutches of an extremely public identity crisis, in which the fresh,
multicultural image it aspires to (Rae, her co-host, John Cho) is undermined by
the observable evidence (the list of nominees).
