Academy CEO Dawn Hudson has issued an apology to 25 members, including Ang Lee, George Takei and Sandra Oh, who signed a letter of protest against "racially insensitive jokes" in last month's Oscars ceremony.
	Hudson called their concerns "valid" and promised that "future Oscar telecasts (will) be more culturally sensitive," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
