"It's about time that we see different kinds of representations of people.  We show people that everyone belongs...Everyone has a seat at the table.  Everyone comes into the story.  Why not?  Why would you not want it that way?", commented Ms. DuVernay to an interviewer on the carpet.

"It's so much better to party when you have all different kinds of people," said Ms. DuVernay, whose cast includes Mindy Kaling and Reese Witherspoon.
