Correction: Oscars-Diversity story

FILE - In this March 2, 2014 file photo, Lupita Nyong’o accepts the award for best actress in a supporting role for "12 Years a Slave" during the Oscars in Los Angeles. Nyong’o dazzled Hollywood and the Oscar-viewing public through awards season last year. The Mexican-born, Kenyan-raised actress was a central part last year to an Academy Awards flush with faces uncommon to the Oscar podium. There was Ellen DeGeneres, a proud lesbian, hosting. There was the first Latino, Alfonso Cuaron, winning best director. There was the black filmmaker Steve McQueen hopping for joy after his “12 Years a Slave” won best picture. (Photo by John Shearer/Invision/AP, File) NEW YORK (AP) — In a story Feb. 18 about racial diversity in the Oscars and the film industry, The Associated Press reported erroneously that nine African American actors have won Academy Awards. The correct number is 15.
