Although Everything Everywhere All at Once made history this past film awards season, industry diversity still has a long way to go in representing minorities.

At WonderCon 2023, a panelist from the industry ranging from award-winning rights to a martial artist consultant, discusses the growth of diverse representation and their future at awards shows in the Diversity in Films and Award Shows panel.
