This video is from The Hollywood Reporter.com's Award Season Roundtable Series. The video addresses an issue Matt brought up in class on Thursday when we were discussing our favorite actors, actresses, and directors: How many minority actors, actresses, and directors did we mention? I found it interesting how not only is the director of "Shame" Steve McQueen the only black member of the panel, but also he is the only 1 willing to discuss the issue of the lack of minority directors and leading actors/actresses. The other 6 directors remain silent for the most part. Director Jason Reitman ("Young Adult") even quips, "I'm not stepping into that," when asked why directors don't cast black or latino actors in lead roles.
