A Statement from Brenda Victoria Castillo, President & CEO of the National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC)
While NHMC will always uplift and celebrate these advancements in representation and the achievements of our peers, there is still much work to be done to truly achieve an industry that reflects the diversity of the country we live in today. We are thrilled that films and filmmakers from Latin American countries were nominated this year. We encourage the academy to continue their work, while also spotlighting Latino American filmmakers and creatives in the years to come. We are the rule, not the exception, and we will continue to push for an industry that always weaves representation and diversity into the framework of show business, not only when it is headline news. Today, we will continue to celebrate how far we’ve come and look forward to a more inclusive tomorrow.
Yours in the Movement,
Brenda Victoria Castillo
President & CEO
National Hispanic Media Coalition
