PALE, MALE = FAIL

White men rule academy bd.

THE OSCAR NOMINEES aren’t the only whiteout in Hollywood.

The board that governs the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is almost entirely Caucasian — and an overwhelming majority of the board is white men.

This year’s Oscar nominations did not include a single minority actor — for the second straight year — and many prominent stars have since called for a boycott of the Feb. 28 event.

The lack of diversity among the stars who will be honored is reflected in those who control the nominations.

The 51-member board includes 37 white men, 13 white women and one Asian man.

Daryn Okada, a cinematographer, is the only minority male.

And of the board’s eight officers, board president Cheryl Boone Isaacs is the lone woman of color.

The board consists of three members from each of the academy’s 17 branches — actors like Tom Hanks, directors like Kathryn Bigelow and executives such as Amy Pascal — who are elected to three-year terms.

Last year, the Los Angeles Times revealed that the academy as a whole, which includes about 6,000 members, is 76% male and 94% white.

Isaacs promised “big changes” in a statement released Monday and the academy board will address the lack of diversity at a scheduled meeting Tuesday, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The board may mandate the number of nominations for Best Picture be fixed at 10 and hike the acting categories from five to 10.

“I am both heartbroken and frustrated about the lack of inclusion,” Isaacs said in a statement earlier this week. “This is a difficult but important conversation, and it’s time for big changes. The academy is taking dramatic steps to alter the makeup of our membership.”

She made a similar statement last year.

Will Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, Spike Lee and Snoop Dogg are among the stars who have said they will not be on hand for Hollywood’s biggest night.

The board of governors determines the academy’s “strategic vision . . . and assures the fulfillment of its mission” according to the academy website.

That “vision” should include real change in Hollywood’s backlot — and in its boardrooms, Lee has argued.

“(The) gatekeepers decide what gets made and what gets jettisoned to turnaround or scrap heap,” Lee said in an Instagram post.
