When Frances McDormand won the Best Actress Oscar on Sunday night (March 4), she used her speech to encourage Hollywood to adopt "inclusion riders".

Inclusion riders, if you still don't know, are clauses that can be put in actors' contracts to ensure gender and racial diversity in the cast and crew. Here's the proper lowdown.

Well, fortunately it turns out McDormand's inspiring speech hasn't fallen on deaf ears.

Big up Black Panther star Michael B Jordan, whose production company Outlier Society will indeed be embracing inclusion riders.

Posting on Instagram on Wednesday night (March 7), the actor wrote: "In support of the women and men who are leading this fight, I will be adopting the Inclusion Rider for all projects produced by my company Outlier Society.

"I've been privileged to work with powerful woman (sic) and persons of color throughout my career and it's Outlier's mission to continue to create for talented individuals going forward."

Nice one, Michael.

In the press room backstage at the Academy Awards, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri star McDormand explained that an inclusion rider can be added to contracts so that at least 50% of the cast and crew have to be diverse.

Although Hollywood has attempted to make a few strides forward in recent years, there are still some scary stats out there. For example, five times more men than women won Oscars last weekend, while most Best Picture winners have featured hardly any women with speaking roles of over 100 words.

But if more Hollywood bigwigs follow the lead of Frances McDormand and Michael B Jordan, we'll surely be a lot closer to putting things right.
