Hollywood decides it’s not woke enough, sets Oscars diversity quotas

[Counselor706]

One lead or significant actor in the movie must be from a list of “underrepresented” racial or ethnic groups.

Or at least 30% of secondary actors must be from a list of “underrepresented” groups, including women, “LGBTQ+,” or disabled people.

Or the storyline of the movie must be about one of the listed underrepresented groups.

The requirements also include a diversity quota for department heads and technical jobs relating to the movie, and an “audience development” requirement, again geared toward that list of underrepresented groups.

Excuse a poor sissy, but aren't the Oscars suppose to be for best performances or being great in a category? If you are really good what is with a quota? The best is the best period.

Good intentions gone awry.

SO.

The Oscars.

One more award or title made almost meaningless by Political Correctness.

Will they never learn.

The short answer is, "No."

 

[HisArpy]

The short answer is, "No."

The long answer is not only "no they won't" but also "and they'll teach their idiocy to their children."

For fuck sake. What bollocks will they come up with next.

It's ridiculous. They are telling artists that their work will only be acknowledged if they make it a particular way or tell a story they deem appropriate. Fuck them. I am a fan of movies and usually at least kinda half assed pay attention to who wins Oscars but this is too much.

Same. Cunts.

Standards of diversity are being dictated to every other field of endeavor in California by leftists going on decades now, including movies casting, diversity directives to writers, places of private business and boards of directors. Why should the Oscars be any different? Why should it have anything to do with merit, when the only thing that matters anywhere else to the left, is diversity?

I'd like to see some proof of this.

That's probably as fair assessment as any.

The Oscar will be reduced to a woke participation trophy.

What may have started out as a quest for "equal opportunities" has now turned into a mad frenzy to grab as much discrimination in one's own favor as possible.

That's about it. They want to throw merit out the window.

 

[Vetteman]

When they started giving out Oscars for best "actress" instead of just actor you guys sat back and did nothing so now you're getting what you deserve. The Oscar should go to best actor & there shouldn't need to be separate categories for men and women. No one wants to see women on screen anyway.

Imagine making re makes of:

Kelly's Heroes
Sound of Music
Doctor Zhivago
Schindler's List
Amadeus
Godfather Pt 2
etc.. etc... aka PC gone beserk

The Oscars are for the most elite of Progressive Hollywood,
to pat themselves on the back, give each other awards by
properly awarding approved behavior and nobody even
watches them anymore, so this isn't really an issue.
Their beach, their sand, their rules, their results.

Winners and losers are measured by box office.
That's the only metric that really matters to
people who make the movies that people
want to see, even though that line is
getting blurred by corporate
Hollywood, which, is
paying the price
like Pro Sports.

As they say,
go woke, go broke;
people want to be entertained
and not preached at or lectured to...

If you're going to post like a window licking retard, at least go light on top and heavy on the bottom.

Good thing he killed half of his and you have none.
