Sir Ian McKellen has said criticism surrounding the lack of diversity among nominees at the Oscars is "legitimate". The 76-year-old actor said he sympathises with those who feel under-represented and added that it is a grievance which has been felt in the film industry by women and is still felt by gay people. The nominations for this year's Academy Awards have been mired in controversy due to no ethnic minority actors or actresses named in the top categories.
