Actor John Leguizamo made a significant impact at Sunday's ceremony by highlighting the diversity among the nominees and addressing the issue of representation in Hollywood. He began by acknowledging the presence of numerous Latinx nominees in the audience, such as Selena Gomez, Nava Mau, and Liza Colón-Zayas.
Leguizamo humorously referred to himself as one of 'Hollywood's DEI hires,' playfully defining DEI as 'diligence, excellence, and imagination.' He cleverly repurposed the acronym, which traditionally stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion, a term that has sparked political debates.
