Academy Awards in 2024. In their most dramatic swing towards true diversity Oscar is laying down significant requirements in order to be eligible for Hollywood's most sought after prize: Best Picture.
Having at least one Asian, Hispanic/Latinx, Black/African American, Indigenous/Native American/Alaskan Native, Middle Eastern/North African, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander or unspecified other underrepresented race or ethnicity as a "lead or significant supporting actor" is a potential requirement under the new guidelines, with those ethnicities also mentioned for prominent production and marketing jobs.   Additionally employing  women, LGBTQ+, members of a Racial or Ethnic group, and people with cognitive or physical disabilities or who are deaf or hard of hearing may be required for  at least 30% of actors in secondary and more minor roles, having a storyline centered on an underrepresented  group, hiring creative leadership and department heads, maintaining least 30% crew composition, paid internships, and representation in marketing and distribution are also all potential areas in order to be a Best Picture contender. Producers don't have to meet all of the requirements of the new doctrine, just half.

As the great Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will be judged by the color of their skin, not by the content of their character."

Suppose a director checked all the boxes; black, trans, disabled, deaf, tarded, etc. and made a satire?

Especially if all of them were in one character.

Do you think he'd win?

Cause that's a lot of bases to hit.

Or you can sacrifice one white grip at the start of production via Aztec religious methods.

I want to see them retroactively cancel the Oscars for anything that doesn't meet those requirements.  Keep going, idiots.  Cancel The Godfather.  Do it.

Hollywood is dead anyways.

I’ve seen like three big Hollywood movies in the last ten years or so that I actually enjoyed. Indie films are generally way better.

If they’d take a break from raping each other for a day and a half maybe they could get their shit straight.

I fucking KNEW it would be race/homo/tranny/ethnic criteria before I even clicked to open this thread.

Imagine re-shooting The Godfather because it didn't have enough Puerto Rican and transsexual Sicilian mafia guys.  "Let's replace Sonny with Jamie Farr from MASH, he's used to wearing dresses."

All white actors should have to return their Oscars. They didn't earn that by themselves. It was the black people who they enslaved that made it possible.

Studios can still make movies anyway they want with whatever sexual/racial/political/criminal cast and crew they want.  It's just that they won't be eligible for the Oscar if they don't meet all the Woke criteria.

Who the fuck cares, anyway?  The ratings and viewership of all the award shows are dropping faster than Matt Lauer's pants.

I’d do a movie about a person with multiple personality disorder who’s personalities all fit the checkboxes.

He writes a movie with himself as the main character and it’s a documentary on his struggles in Hollywood.

He doesn’t win the Oscar due to lack of diversity and pulls off a mass shooting/bombing of the ceremony.

It is like a recipe for turning all future Best Picture contenders into the same POS movie that was Star Wars: The Last Jedi

The Wife and I have started enjoying older movies due to the quality of the acting and the lack of agenda driven dribble. James Cagney for example. The special effects aren't the best but the story lines are fun if not predictable.

Unless a pedophile is in the lead or producer, that way all movies are eligible.

all the stupid ass woke BLM ANTIFA lib child molesting shit aside....

what would this mean for half of Spielberg's movies? I'll admit I'm not his biggest fan, but flicks like saving private Ryan, Forrest Gump, Schindler's list... none of those would meet the criteria for these new rules. hell, even lord of the rings, titanic, so many movies that have won so many awards including best picture would not even be eligible.

you couldn't force that kind of inclusion in so many movies.

So, it’s not really about acting or the merits of the art...but politics?

I’m shocked!
