The Grammy Awards will adopt an inclusion rider that will require producers to recruit and hire more diverse candidates backstage and in front of the camera for next year's ceremony. The full inclusion rider will be released publicly on Sept. 16. "This inclusion rider is a written rule that will change the culture of hiring at the Grammys, and will make inclusion the norm." "Part of what makes the inclusion rider so potent is its adaptability," said Kotagal, who is a civil rights attorney. The term "inclusion rider" was brought into the spotlight in 2018 when Frances McDormand mentioned it during her best actress Oscar acceptance speech.
