NEW YORK (AP) —Hattie McDaniel's best supporting actress Oscar in 1939 for “Gone With the Wind” is one of the most important moments in Academy Award history. Now, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has created a replacement of McDaniel's legendary Academy Award that it's gifting to Howard University. Upon her death in 1952, McDaniel bequeathed her Oscar to Howard University where it was displayed at the drama department until the late ’60s. “Hattie McDaniel was a groundbreaking artist who changed the course of cinema and impacted generations of performers who followed her. We are thrilled to present a replacement of Hattie McDaniel’s Academy Award to Howard University,” said Jacqueline Stewart, Academy Museum president, and Bill Kramer, chief executive of the academy, in a joint statement.

Un purtător de cuvânt al HBO a declarat pentru publicație că filmul turnat în anul 1939 „este produsul epocii sale prezintă unele prejudecăți etice și rasiale, care, din păcate, erau comune în societatea americană”. HBO a promis că vor readuce ulterior filmul pe platformă, dar „ însă cu o contextualizare pentru a resitua opera în epoca sa. „Gone With the Wind” a fost criticat și în trecut pentru portretizarea afro-americanilor și pentru romantizarea sclaviei. Actrița de culoare Hattie McDaniel, care a jucat în „Gone With the Wind”, a devenit prima actriță afro-americană care a primit un Oscar. Datorită segregării rasiale, McDaniel a stat separat de colegii săi de film în timpul ceremoniei.
