I wish I could feel outrageView attachment 386538According to UPI (1)
" The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced new representation and inclusion standards that Best Picture nominees must meet at the Oscars.. The changes, as part of the Academy Aperture 2025 initiative, are designed to ensure that Best Picture nominees reflect the diversity of the movie-going audience."

There's really nothing more to say. The Oscars, literally the Gold standard of Movie Awards, has become nothing more than an irrelevant measuring stick of cancel culture compliance. Do as we tell you, or your work has no value. Can you imagine Francis Ford Coppola trying to make a historically accurate, albiet fictional, depiction of the Italian mafia, but, in order for it to be considered for Best Picture, a pre-determined percentage of actors would have had to be of a race or creed other than Italian. Imagine how insanely ridiculous it would be to have, say, Forrest Whitaker(though a fine actor) play the role of Vito Corleone....and perhaps we could have Denzel Washington (IMO a racist cry baby) play Michael just so it could be considered for Best Picture. Of course, just think, would that apply to films such as, say, Black Panther? I think not. How reflective of the audience was that cast and crew? How reflective in terms of percentage of white actors were in that film? Whites make up 63.4% of the population. What do you think the chances are that whites made up 63.4% of "The Black Panther" film staff,crew, and actors. My bet is on slim to none. These racist rules....yes they are racist because they seek to force favor on one group over another simply because of race, are the reason racism perpetuates in society. Anytime one group perceives they are purposely disadvantaged for the benefit of another (reverse discrimination is discrimination), animosity towards the favored group will fester. But I would surmise that is just what those whose go to cry is "Racism" want. Too many of them benefit financially from the perpetuation of racism to let it die. The Academy, however, is one pandering orginization that will fade into irrelevance with this change. There will be NO reason to watch the Oscars in the future. None. The Best Picture Oscar will not be a judgement of the quality of the work but of the diversity of the cast and crew. Oscar is dead.
(1) Oscars announce inclusion standards for Best Picture category
Oscars are only relevant to people who are either trying to get in or are already in the Hollywood bubble -- and the people who worship them.....
The rest of the people I see whining about the Oscars are people who are pissed that 100% of the awards don't go to white folks....get over it
Yes, there are Black ONLY Awards shows as well as BET Black Entertainment Television and the Black Miss America contest which excludes whites. If there were WET White Entertainment Television or a White Miss America contest that excluded blacks, I suspect you would be the first to be up in arms. But there isn't. Double standard? You bet. Perhaps YOU are the one who needs to GET OVER IT!Aren't there Black Awards already that exclude Whites?Oscars are only relevant to people who are either trying to get in or are already in the Hollywood bubble -- and the people who worship them.....

Let me guess, you are still pissed about Sidney Poitier winning an Oscar??
Wish it was more like the good old days, when black folks weren't allowed to play roles outside of a butler or a slave?
And while you are whining like a bitch about BET awards -- in the 14 or so years there has been such an awards show -- 7 times a white person won an award there....which is a much better percentage than what Academy award black folks have won....

White people of all religionsImagine if the BET awards had to include Jews.
Opportunities for blacks today are much more prevalent then in the past. Giving the Oscar out now because a person is black cheapens it even more. In fact, there are recent winners who can not hold a movie by themselves. Which means you can question it. To me it is always not realizing the best as realizing when an actor is bad. We see the cream of the crop that last for decades. Then the rest.Yes, there were White Only Award shows....it was called the Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, etc etc etc....Oscars are only relevant to people who are either trying to get in or are already in the Hollywood bubble -- and the people who worship them.....

Of course, just think, would that apply to films such as, say, Black Panther? I think not. How reflective of the audience was that cast and crew? How reflective in terms of percentage of white actors were in that film? Whites make up 63.4% of the population. What do you think the chances are that whites made up 63.4% of "The Black Panther" film staff,crew, and actors. My bet is on slim to none. These racist rules....yes they are racist because they seek to force favor on one group over another simply because of race, are the reason racism perpetuates in society. Anytime one group perceives they are purposely disadvantaged for the benefit of another (reverse discrimination is discrimination), animosity towards the favored group will fester. But I would surmise that is just what those whose go to cry is "Racism" want. Too many of them benefit financially from the perpetuation of racism to let it die. The Academy, however, is one pandering orginization that will fade into irrelevance with this change. There will be NO reason to watch the Oscars in the future. None. The Best Picture Oscar will not be a judgement of the quality of the work but of the diversity of the cast and crew. Oscar is dead.
