At the 2018 Crystal + Lucy Awards, Larson was honored with he Crystal Award for Excellence in Film. During her acceptance speech, she talked about a USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism study that found that women and people of color were not well represented in the the film critic and reviewer scene.<\/p>\n

“So you’re probably thinking right now, “Wow that super doesn’t represent the country that I live in,’ and that’s because that’s true,” she said. “This is a huge disconnect from the U.S. population breakdown of 30% white men, 30% white women, 20% men of color, and 20% women of color.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
