“It runs through Hollywood and it’s a bigger problem than the Oscars themselves and a bigger issue than just the Academy’s membership,” he admitted (via E!).

Matt Damon stops for a quick camera opp while participating in a panel discussion hosted by Stella Artois and held during the 2016 Sundance Film Festival on Saturday (January 23) in Park City, UT.

The 45-year-old Martian star and Water.org co-founder talked about the current global water crisis.

Matt also recently revealed why he didn’t star in Manchester By the Sea as he originally planned.

“Basically, it’s one of the best roles I’ve ever seen,” Matt said (via USA Today). “I had a full slate and I wouldn’t be able to do this movie until next year and they could go last year with Casey [Affleck]. I didn’t want to get in the way of a great movie getting made. And I had already said to Kenny [Lonergan, the director], ‘I will not give this role up to anybody except for Casey Affleck.’ And Casey instantly took the role. Because he saw what we all saw. I never made it through this script without crying…I wish I was in it, but I’m happy to be attached to it.”

Matt served as a producer on the film, which is currently showing at the festival.

John Krasinski smiles for the cameras while attending a panel discussion at the Cinema Cafe held during the 2016 Sundance Film Festival on Sunday (January 24) in Park City, UT.

The 36-year-old actor was joined by Joshy star Thomas Middleditch.

John was recently asked about the Academy’s membership changes in an effort to increase diversity.

“Pushing diversity forward is not only a major step that we all need to take, but it’s a responsibility that we should be doing all around,” John told THR. “So as disappointing as I think it is to hear about the Oscars and the lack of diversity in the announcements, i think it’s a nice call to arms for the rest of our business to be talking about what movies we’re making, who we’re allowing to direct that, who we’re allowing to be in the stories we’re trying to tell.”

Also pictured below: John catches up with The Hollars co-star Charlie Day the day before at the Eddie Bauer Adventure House.

Nick Jonas chats about his new film, Goat, during the Deadline panel in the Samsung Studio at 2016 Sundance Film Festival on Saturday (January 23) in Park City, Utah.

Speaking with The Daily Beast earlier, the 23-year-old actor opened up about the movie and it’s storylines.

“I think that growth is super important in any creative platform and in life in general, and in the TV show I’m doing a lot of drugs and I’m having a lot of sex, so it wasn’t foreign to me,” Nick shared.

He added, “And I’ve had sex and drank a lot [in real life], so there are parts of this film that are perfectly real in some sense. But it’s important to take your fans on a journey. And it’s the responsibility of any artist to say, ‘This is what I’m connected to, this is what inspires me, and hopefully you can ask the same questions I’ve asked of myself.’”

Nick joined his older brother Joe inside the Tao Park City party later on.

FYI: Nick is wearing a maroon Opening Ceremony jacket. Joe is wearing a multi-colored Kenzo sweater.
