Emma stone apologizes for Aloha in Sandra O's Golden Globe speech
O'sandra and Andy Sandberg made some serious growls at the opening ceremony of the 2019 Golden Globe Awards. Oh, aiming at Hollywood whitewash, jokingly, "the crazy rich Asians" is "the first Asian led movie after" the ghost in the shell "and" Aloha. " Although the camera doesn't cut to the audience, you can clearly hear Emma stone shouting, "I'm sorry! "When the audience laughs, oh, put her hand on her heart. Later that night, stone confirmed that she was shouting an apology, telling the Los Angeles Times, "it's not like I planned, but I did say it. "Listen to yourself below."

if you are not familiar with them, the two films are Scarlett Johanson and Emma stone, the stars of ghost in the shell and Aloha. In ghost in the shell, Johnson plays the soul of a Japanese woman in a robot body. Meanwhile, in Aloha, stone plays a part of Hawaiian and Chinese characters. Considering that both actresses are white, it's getting a little bit tricky. "I've been the target of a lot of jokes," stone told news.com.au The Hollywood star also told the Australian news agency, "I learned the crazy history of Hollywood whitewashing from a macro perspective and how common the problem is. This led to a very important dialogue. " Although we all support stone's apology (admitting that playing a role in Aloha is not the best move), it is important to remember that Asians are still under represented in the fields of film, television and so on. In fact, only 4.4% of the top 100 films at the box office in 2014 were Asian. In 2016, that number fell to 3.1. Speaking of endorsements, the crazy Asian rich are a big step in the right direction, but Hollywood still has a lot of work to do
