Founder & CEO of Screen Nation, Charles Thompson MBE said
’How we think about ourselves is the most important thing. The statements tonight by David Oyelowo and Idris Elba show that they’re committed to bringing the message of British talent around the world. That’s why ten years ago David Oyelowo was nominated for emerging talent. When no one knew who Idris was we were nominating him for The Wire. We know excellence is possible and achievable. If we work with our colleagues around the world we will win for Britain. We’re not diversity quota anymore and never have been! We’re mainstream!! ‘’
