The Vantage Award celebrating ‘an artist or scholar who has helped to contextualize and challenge dominant narratives around cinema’ is going to Steve McQueen, the director of 12 Years A Slave and Shame.

The Academy Museum opened last year just four days after the first gala, igniting a storm of controversy over its political slant.
Critics slammed the museum for emphasizing the contributions of various minorities to the American film industry while all but ignoring the white Jewish immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe who played a major role in creating Hollywood.
The museum responded to the blowback by announcing this March that they will be adding a permanent exhibition highlighting the Jewish history of the movie business
