Museum Opening Behind the Scenes With Asian American Women Governors of the Academy
LOS ANGELES, November 1, 2021— Three of the four female Asian American governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (the largest contingent ever) provide a behind the scenes look at the inclusion efforts by the Academy. Jennifer Yuh Nelson, who was joined by fellow governors Janet Yang and Laura Kim, reflected upon the Academy’s recent shift. “It’s been an amazing transformation, because the will was there, but perhaps the voices weren’t there before,” she said. The conversation, held as part of Asia Society Southern California's 12th Annual U.S.-Asia Entertainment Summit, was moderated by Variety’s Heidi Chung. (14 min., 24 sec.)
