Three years after #OscarsSoWhite (https://mashable.com/2015/01/15/oscarssowhite/) put a spotlight on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' diversity problem, it appears we're finally seeing some concrete steps to course correct.
Under the #WeAreTheAcademy hashtag, the organization announced it was inviting a record-breaking 928 new members from 59 different countries to join its ranks. The increased focus on welcoming more women and people of color into one of Hollywood's most exclusive clubs is a promising step toward fixing the industry's systemic issues.
