Tyler Perry is taking on a new challenge: streaming. Perry recently made his first deal with Netflix for the movie "A Fall From Grace." He joined "CBS This Morning" to talk about the new film and also commented on the recent Oscar nominations that have prompted criticism for their lack of diversity.
Perry spoke about Netflix, saying, "One of the things that I loved about it is I walked into THE ROOM to have my first meeting with them, and I've never seen that kind of diversity in Hollywood sitting around the table. Women, every race, every sex, all represented around the table. Big ups to Netflix just for the diversity I saw when I walked in that room." On this year's Oscar nominations, Perry said, "I think that Jennifer Lopez should have been recognized. I think that Awkwafina should have been recognized, absolutely. But I don't have an opinion of it either way. As I said before, build your own table so you don't have to keep asking people to sit at theirs. I think that the Academy has tried to invite more people of color into the voting process. We'll see what happens."Watch the interview below!
