The father of three added, “I know that both Pippa, Chair of BAFTA, and Amanda, BAFTA CEO, share that frustration and continue to work tirelessly to ensure that creative talent is discovered and supported. BAFTA takes this issue seriously, and following this year’s nominations have launched a full and thorough review of the entire Awards process to build on their existing work and ensure that opportunities are available to everyone.
When the awards show nominations came out earlier this month, BAFTA faced backlash when fans noticed that the list did not feature non-white actors. In addition, the list had only listed male directors.to get the latest updates on Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and more! The nominating committee addressed the backlash shortly after the nods were announced, calling it an “industry-wide issue.”
“We’d have liked to have seen more diversity in the nominations, it does continue to be an industry-wide issue,” BAFTA’s director of awards, Emma Baehr,

We call this lip service 🤷🏾♀️
Where was his concern when his day old nephew was compared to a Chimpanzee? William is a hypocrite.
Lol 😂 yeah sure being sarcastic.
Says a man who’s own position is a result of centuries old white male privilege. They’ve only just allowed women equal ascendency to the throne; come back when Roman Catholic, Muslim, Jewish ... ... are regarded with equal rights.
After he stayed quiet on the racist vitriol spewed at his sister-in-law?! 🙄🙄
Utter rank hypocrisy by William. His silence when Baby Archie was racially abused tells me he values white supremacy. Archie was likened to a chimp 2days after his birth, & 2 weeks ago at 8 months hellomag likened him to a chimp, again. Rubbish PR stunt while others defend Archie
He’s been president of BAFTA for 10yrs what has he done to remedy diversity problems? He can’t even defend his SIL & nephew when they experienced racism and He said that he’s bored about racism. PrinceWilliamIsAHypocrite baftasowhite
Ummmm take a look inside that Royal Family of yours.... fix it... then come back to us OK
White shaming is racist. What percentage of black entertainers are there? Would 10% of a population always be represented more?
Why didn’t he say something when his only brother’s son was publicly called a chimpanzee?
No need to be rude to Prince William because Meghan couldn't control the Royal Family.
From the least diverse family in the history of families. Again, do as I say, not as I do.
Let's get this correct the President of this Association has finally spoke about lack of diversity when he sat back and watched first hand how his Sister-in-law was treated over the exact same thing. No offence but when the RF get their household together then they can speak out.
Right, everyone knows that awards are handed out for gender and skin color not for skill.
Well his family are all white, except the (sort of) black one, who was promptly shipped off to Canada.
You were mute when your sister in law, who is black, was being bullied by the british press. All that privilege and money and you chose to only worry about your hoes
Just what the entertainment industry needs: another white guy giving a speech about diversity. Do you know what will bring diversity to the BAFTAs? BETTER MOVIES MADE BY MORE DIVERSE PEOPLE! Do these people learn nothing from their mistakes?
But your the President of the association so what have you been doing to change it
