AT THE Screen Actor Guild awards show Sunday night, the casts of two landmark motion pictures got together for a significant photo that says a lot about the future Hollywood hopefully will embrace.
There is a lot of symbolism when the casts of Crazy Rich Asians and Black Panther joined each other for this photo posted by CRA director Jon M. Chu on his Instagram account. Both films were breakthroughs for subject matter and casting.
Both films broke down the old Hollywood belief that films with minority leads would not appeal to general (white) audiences. First Black Panther and in August, Crazy Rich Asians, broke box office records and opened the door to explore storylines and actors that reflect U.S. audiences.
Dozens of projects are now underway or under development with more diverse casts because of the critical and financial success of those two films.
For the photo, they were joined by winner of SAG's Best Actor award-winner Darren Criss and Mike Meyers.
Mike Meyers?
To quote Chu, "This photo is beautiful."
