四、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意,選出最適當的答案】
If Hollywood is the movie capital of the world, then the Academy Awards, a.k.a. the Oscars, held annually in
Hollywood at Dolby Theater is surely the greatest ceremony of the film industry. In fact, the 88th Academy Awards ceremony
probably drew more attention than it had expected. Even though the Oscar has been the most renowned movie award in the
world for decades, it does not mean that it is always the fairest one. Oscar nominations had already raised serious debates on
the issue of diversity in 2015 because, for the first time since 1998, the 20 nominees for actors and actresses in a leading or
supporting role were all white. Surprisingly, for the second time in a row, the same situation happened all over again this year.
The lack of ethnic diversity in the nomination list frustrated the public; as a result, many celebrities didn't even attend the
ceremony as a protest against racism in film industry.
On top of racism, there is another problem that has been criticized for years— the Hollywood pay gap. The film
industry in Hollywood has idolized many iconic actresses, but when it comes to their paychecks, Hollywood seems to love
them a bit less. Believe it or not, an industry that has produced many movies to educate its viewers about gender equality, has
actually failed to carry out equal rights for men and women in terms of how they are paid.
Studies show that actors, on average, have always been paid higher than their female counterparts. It is reported that
inequality as such has been in film industry forever, and some even consider it a consensus. However, it is generally believed
that there has never been any agreement from both actors and actresses on such an issue. Apparently, there is no way any
female actress with self-respect would agree on a smaller paycheck when in fact she is doing as much as the actor in the
same movie.
With more and more people coming out to support equal pay for actresses and fight against racism in film industry, we
can foresee a better and a fairer Oscar in the future.
【1】21. What would be the most appropriate headline for this article?
Time for Big Changes in Hollywood
