Carter, star Viola Davis, audio editor Ai-Ling Lee and filmmaker Chloé Zhao).
The Incorporation Checklist likewise evaluates the result of #OscarsSoWhite in contrasting the percent of nonwhite nominees in the 9 years prior to and after the hashtag removed in 2015 (9.5 percent and 17.1 percent).

Smith stated in a declaration. “There is much more work to do to see the creative talents of women and people of color – and particularly women of color – recognized by this industry body.”
