For the first time in the 93-year history of the Academy Awards, an all-Black producing team has been nominated for Best Picture for the film "Judas and the Black Messiah". The team includes former top talent agent Charles D. King, who spoke to Michelle Miller about his effort to transform Hollywood.

The film Judas and the Black Messiah has already made history at the Oscars. It's the first Best Picture nominee with an all-Black producing team, which includes two Kings and a Coogler: Ryan Coogler, Shaka King and Charles D. King, who brings a new vision for Hollywood.

- As Judas and the Black Messiah producers Ryan Coogler, Shaka King and Charles King become the first all-black team nominated for best picture, they wrestle with the meaning of an award that has excluded so many.

Charles King, Shaka King and Ryan Coogler acknowledge the importance of their Academy Award nominations but still wrestle with the meaning of an honor that has excluded so many: "Why did it take 93 years?”

Charles D. King, founder and CEO of MACRO, joins BNN Bloomberg to talk about his latest film "Judas and the Black Messiah" and his outlook for the film industry as streaming continues to dominate. He also talks about his journey from talent agent to entrepreneur, and launching his company MACRO. He says that despite the pandemic, his business has been strong and is still growing. "Judas And The Black Messiah" opens today in theaters and is streaming on HBO Max.

Charles D. King left his perch as a partner at WME in 2015 to launch a content company focused on giving creative and business opportunities to storytellers of color. “Judas and the Black Messiah,” the period drama that bows Feb. 12 in theaters and on HBO Max, is the epitome of the producer-entrepreneur’s larger goal with Macro, King tells Variety podcast “Strictly Business.”

To make sense of all that has transpired in 2020 and what it portends for the media and entertainment sectors going forward, Variety spoke with a cross-section of industry leaders about the broad theme of change.

Hollywood, like the rest of America, is increasingly dividing itself into the haves and the have nots. Through mergers (Disney and Fox), buyouts (AT&T gobbling up Time Warner) and an arms race for talent ($250 million for J.J.

Even when Charles D. King was attending Howard University School of Law, he had his eye on the prize. In his 1996 graduation commemorative book, the onetime superagent turned producer vowed, “In 10 years I’m going to be at the helm of a diversified entertainment and media company.” It’s no surprise that the film, TV and digital production enterprise he would eventually launch would be called Macro.

The former William Morris Endeavor partner was behind last year’s Oscar darling Fences with his production company, Macro Ventures.

Charles D. King has a particular swag about him: corporate yet street; minimalist yet audacious.

It's no wonder that one day, he's at an. Industry panel in Beverly Hills talking about the need for diversity and inclusion in Hollywood, and two days later he's on a decidedly different stage at ComplexCon in Long Beach in conversation with Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler.

Hollywood can feel unreachable, like anyone who makes it in the industry must be in on some well-kept secret. But that’s not the case.

So argues Charles D. King, the CEO of Macro Ventures, a media company that finances and produces multicultural content. He broke into the industry with nothing but “some lint and a few coins” in his pocket, he tells CNBC Make It. He has since gone on to work with stars like Denzel Washington and Viola Davis, both of whom won awards for their roles in “Fences.”
