Oscars: Academy under fire again over lack of diversity

Besides race, Hollywood also has a serious gender gap. In 90-plus years of Oscars, just one woman has won best director.

The 92nd Academy Awards ceremony will take place later on Sunday.

This year, a lack of racial and gender diversity in the nominations has caused an outcry.

It is reminiscent of 2015 and 2016 when the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite trended on twitter.
