Ava DuVernay's SXSW Keynote
What you need to know: Ava DuVernay perhaps became a spokesperson for a multicultural Hollywood when her 2015 Oscars snub galvanized an international hashtag campaign, but she took the stage at SXSW to talk instead about awards, ego, and ambition. DuVernay was a newcomer to the Academy Awards this year, and describes the powerful realization that it was nothing but a room in LA and her "work's worth is not based on what happens in or around that room."
Tribeca says: Hear, hear.
