TRUTH FIRST.
REPRESENTATION ALWAYS.
Uncovering Hollywood’s hidden history, one truth at a time.
it took 62 years
Six decades is the gap between Hattie McDaniel’s Oscar and the next Black woman to win an acting award.
STILL 0 NATIVE OSCARS
No Native American actor has ever won a competitive Oscar. Wes Studi received an honorary award in 2019.
ONLY 5% LEAD ROLES
Latinos make up 19.5% of the U.S. population but held just 5% of lead roles in 2023, a massive gap in visibility.
ONLY 4% ARE WOMEN
Women make up just 4% of top directors in Hollywood, a historic oversight in plain sight.
Welcome to Hollywoodland news!
Where Truth meets culture and power
Diversity in Hollywood isn’t just ignored history. It’s unfolding right now. We started by spotlighting the forgotten pioneers of Classic Hollywood but today we’re in the room. From press lines to private screenings, museum panels to red carpet premieres, we cover the stories that too often go untold. We show up with purpose, ask the hard questions and bring an Indigenous and Latina lens to spaces that have rarely made room for either.
. . . AND STILL, WE PERSIST . . .
Our work unearths the untold, challenges the whitewashed and pushes representation forward. We’re Indigenous-owned, LGBTQIA+ Latina-led and deeply committed to telling Hollywood’s full story, past, present and future, through a lens of equity, truth and unapologetic voice.
This is Hollywoodland News.
Where history meets the culture of now and Hollywood’s story gets retold one truth at a time.
On the Scene
covering culture where it happens
From symphony halls to studio sets, Hollywoodland News is on the ground documenting the stories that matter. We show up where representation is shifting, where queer and BIPOC voices are being amplified, and where culture is being reclaimed in real time. As an Indigenous, Latina and LGBTQIA+–led platform, we bring lived experience to every red carpet, every screening and every space that hasn’t always made room for us. These are our latest stories, reported with truth, context and fire.
