Embattled Hillary Clinton is wading into the controversy over the racial makeup of the Oscar nominees and thinks it’s about time the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences “catch up” on the issue of diversity.

Clinton added her two cents to the kerfuffle surrounding the all-white slate of nominees for top honors in the 2016 Academy Awards, the second consecutive year that no minority actors were nominated for the top spots, during a campaign stop in Iowa this week, AOL.com reports.

The conversation with Clinton comes after Cheryl Boone Isaacs, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, announced she is “both heartbroken and frustrated about the lack of inclusion” in acting nominations, and vowed “big changes” to right the injustice, according to the news site.

“I think it is overdue, but the Academy announced that they are going to be making some changes as they should,” Clinton said.

Clinton said she’s among those “encouraging” the Academy to “really move as quickly as they can to make those changes.”

“Just think of the great films that not only display the diversity of America, but the diversity of the human experience,” she said. “The Academy has to catch up to our reality.”

Numerous black Hollywood big wigs, including Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith, Spike Lee, and others, have lashed out at the Academy over the nominations and plan to boycott the awards show.

Pinkett-Smith posted a video to Facebook Jan. 18 to explain why she won’t be attending the Oscars presentation.

“It is time that people of color recognize how much power, influence, that we have amassed, that we no longer need to ask to be invited anywhere?” Pinkett Smith said. “Maybe it’s time that we recognize that if we love and respect and acknowledge ourselves in the way in which we are asking others to do, that is the place of true power. Begging for acknowledgement, or even asking, diminishes dignity and diminishes power – and we are a dignified people, and we are powerful. Let’s not forget it.”

George Clooney and others have also spoken out in support of more black nominees for the Academy’s acting awards.

“I think that African-Americans have a real fair point that the industry isn’t representing them well enough,” he told Variety. “I think that’s absolutely true.”

But other actors have spoken out in defense of the academy – both black and white – explaining that the problem, if there is one, isn’t with the Academy, but rather with those who decide which movies get made, and who stars in them.

British actress Charlotee Rampling, for example, dismissed the concerns about the lack of diversity in the acting awards, and said the current controversy is “racist against whites.”

“We can never know whether it’s truly the case, but maybe the black actors didn’t deserve to make it to the final list,” she told the French radio station Europe 1, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Others, like actor Michael Caine and producer Gerald Molen, seem to agree with Rampling’s assessment.

“There is no racism except for those who create an issue. That is the worst kind. Using such an ugly way of complaining…,” Molen, producer of Schindler’s List, told The Hollywood Reporter. “The idea of a boycott is ridiculous. Are their noes bent out of shape by the award nominations? Of course. That is normal in a town of egos and red-carpet desires. While there were many performances of note, not all choices for ‘best’ in the various categories have been realized … I say to all my co-members: Stop acting like spoiled brats. Look to the next awards show for recognition – if you deserve it.”

“You can’t vote for an actor because he’s black,” Caine told BBC Radio 4. “You can’t just say, ‘I’m going to vote for him. He’s not very good, but he’s black. I’ll vote for him.’ You have to give a good performance.”

The 2016 Oscars is hosted by Chris Rock.
