Variety seeks to shame Hollywood on lack of diversity

One of Hollywood's most influential magazines is putting diversity in the spotlight after no minority actors received Oscar nominations for a second year in a row.

The cover of Variety Magazine's new issue, to be released Tuesday, depicts an Oscar statue cast in white, along with the words "SHAME ON US."

"Tomorrow's cover on Diversity crisis will be a must read. As the cover line states, we are all to blame," Claudia Eller, Variety's co-editor-in-chief, said on Twitter.

Diversity has become a hot-button issue in Hollywood in the run-up to the 2016 Academy Awards, after only white actors were nominated for major awards.
