| AmNews Curtain Raiser and Amsterdam News, on the Oscar carpet, 2019 |
The New York Amsterdam News was again invited to cover the 2019 Oscar celebration and this year, they extended the invitation to our newest vertical AMNews Curtain Raiser!
As we all know, it's been a long road to making films more diverse in all sectors so 2019 is a big deal adding major landmarks, including wins for: costume designer Ruth Carter (“Black Panther”), production designer Hannah Beachler (“Black Panther”), writers Spike Lee and Kevin Willmott (“BlacKkKlansman”), director Peter Ramsey (“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”) and supporting actors Mahershala Ali (“Green Book”) and Regina King (“If Beale Street Could Talk”) collectively shattered the record for black winners on Oscar night.
And 13 wins for women is a milestone as well.
That’s the change you can get behind.

HANNAH BEACHLER: I want to thank the Academy, thank you so much. Ryan Coogler. I stand here stronger than I was yesterday. I stand here with agency and self-worth because of Ryan Coogler.
