Episode 64
This year's Oscars where notably brown in comparison to years past. The presence of Latinx actors and political causes were felt throughout the awards show. However, the diversity of the ceremony was not reflected in the movies nominated. LWL discuss the lack of diversity in Hollywood and mention the reasons why "The Shape of Water" and "Coco" did not meet their expectations. Thank you to Nevada Public Radio for facilitating this conversation. #SupportBrownPodcasts #SupportLatinxPodcasts #LWLPod
