John Leguizamo has taken a bold step in advocating for diversity in Hollywood by purchasing a full-page ad in the New York Times. ⁠
⁠
In his heartfelt open letter, he calls on the Television Academy to end the historic "white wash" and recognize artists of color across all award categories. ⁠
⁠
Leguizamo hopes 2023 will be the year of true Equity and representation. His plea comes almost a decade after the #OscarsSoWhite movement, yet issues remain Despite some progress, like 7 out of 20 acting Oscar nominees this year being people of color, the industry still has much work to do. ⁠
⁠
Leguizamo emphasizes the need for meaningful actions over empty promises.⁠
