-The Oscars are coming up this Sunday,
and it has been a great year for diversity in film,
and with that in mind, we have two very special guests
from the American Diversity Council,
who are here today to honor the most diverse film of 2018.
Please welcome Linda Porter and Peter Ralph.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you both so much for being here.
-It's good to be here, Seth. -This is very exciting.
Your organization's analysts have crunched the numbers
and determined the most diverse movie of last year,
and you're going to announce it on the show tonight.
-Yeah. Uh, that's what we're gonna do.
-So, what is it?
"Crazy Rich Asians"? "Roma"? "Black Panther"?
-Look, Seth, I don't think
you're gonna like what we have to say.
-Yeah, I think it might be best
to just pull the plug on this right now.
-Are you kidding me? No, this is really exciting.
Diversity is very important. Let's do it.
-Fine. Okay.
[ Breathes deeply ]
Seth, it is with some regret that we have to announce
that the most diverse movie of 2018 is
"Backyard Bus Bangers 6."
[ Laughter ]
-I'm sorry. What did you say?
[ Laughter ]
-We at the American Diversity Council
used a highly scientific rubric to determine which film released
in the last year was the most diverse and inclusive.
Unfortunately, that film turned out to be
"Backyard Bus Bangers 6."
The sixth movie in the "Backyard Bus Bangers" series.
-I gotta say, that sounds like a --
-It is pornography, Seth.
But "Backyard Bus Bangers 6," I'm sorry to say,
has a more diverse cast than any other movie made in 2018.
-The movie features African-American actors,
Hispanic actors, Indian actors, Chinese actors.
-And there's really no easy way to put this,
but our study found that "Backyard Bus Bangers 6"
features roughly nine times more interracial relationships
than any other movie made in the last year.
-And when you include Jewish director Hershel Thrust...
the production clearly embraced diversity
both in front of and behind the camera.
-Does certainly sound diverse.
-Also, it's worth noting that while
Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra are not in this movie,
there is a couple that looks almost exactly like them.
-Their names are Prick Bonas and Peeonya Chokeya.
[ Laughter ]
-Maybe you should move on.
How about a film that was good
for LGBTQ representation in 2018?
-Well, I'm sure no one is going to be happy to hear this,
but we at the American Diversity Council
also found that there is no film that more represents
the LGBTQ community than...
"Backyard Bus Bangers 6."
[ Laughter ] -God.
-"Backyard Bus Bangers 6" shows us that Hollywood romances
doesn't have to be the traditional male/female
relationships we see in most movies.
-They can also be female/female or female/female/male.
Or female/female/female.
Or female/female/female/female.
-What about male/male relationships?
-While there's technically
no male/male relationship in the movie,
there is a scene -- and, uh, I think it was an accident --
where two guys, um, touched.
[ Laughter ]
-Where can people watch "Backyard Bus Bangers 6?"
-Well, it's currently in wide release
to all Starwood Hotel and Resort properties.
And I believe it premieres on Showtime Extreme in June.
-That's great.
-Yeah. -Uh-huh.
So congratulations to the cast and crew
of "Backyard Bus Bangers 6."
I shudder to say
that more Hollywood films should aspire to your example.
[ Laughter ]
-This is a, you know, a great day for representation.
-Huge win for inclusivity.
[ Laughter ]
-Out of curiosity, what was the second-most diverse movie?
-Unfortunately, it was "Backyard Bus Bangers 7."
-And that came out in the same year?
-I think they were actually filmed on the same weekend.
-Okay. Gotcha. Give it up for the American Diversity Council!
