Cheryl Boone Isaacs Academy President Blasts Lack Of Oscars Diversity
Cheryl Boone Isaacs Academy President Blasts Lack Of Oscars Diversity
Cheryl Boone Isaacs, President Of The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, released this honest and powerful letter earlier this evening: "I’d like to acknowledge the wonderful work of this year’s nominees. While we celebrate their extraordinary achievements, I am both heartbroken and frustrated about the lack of inclusion. 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. In the coming days and weeks we will conduct a review of our membership recruitment in order to bring about much-needed diversity in our 2016 class and beyond. As many of you know, we have implemented changes to diversify our membership in the last four years. But the change is not coming as fast as we would like. We need to do more, and better and more quickly. This isn’t unprecedented for the Academy. In the ‘60s and ‘70s it was about recruiting younger members to stay vital and relevant. In 2016, the mandate is inclusion in all of its facets: gender, race, ethnicity and sexual orientation. We recognize the very real concerns of our community, and I so appreciate all of you who have reached out to me in our effort to move forward together." Wow

Glenn Frey "You Belong To The City" Miami Vice Passes
Glenn Frey "You Belong To The City" Miami Vice Passes
Many remember Glenn Frey as one of The Eagles band, but for me he was, along with Jan Hammer, the musical sound of Miami Vice and known for "You Belong To The City". With that song, Frey became as much an 80's icon as he was a 70's star. An amazing talent, please go and listen to "You Belong To The City".
