They're saying - finally - that it's 'Completely ridiculous!' Oscars voters rip into new diversity rules for Best Picture...
New York Post reporting - If it were released today, “The Godfather” would possibly have no chance of winning a Best Picture Oscar. That’s because the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is beholden to new inclusivity standards.
Starting with the March 2024 awards, movies will not be considered for a Best Picture nomination unless they feature a lead or significant supporting character from an “underrepresented racial or ethnic group,” have a main storyline that focuses on an underrepresented group, or at least 30% of the cast comes from two or more underrepresented groups (women, ethnic minorities, LGBTQ or the disabled).
It’s got some voting members of the Academy up in arms. “It’s completely ridiculous,” one director fumed to The Post. “I’m for diversity, but to make you cast certain types of people if you want to get nominated?
"That makes the whole process contrived. The person who is right for the part should get the part. Why should you be limited in your choices? But it’s the world we’re in. This is crazy."

Wow! I didn't even know the Oscars were still around! Oscars haven't been useful in helping me choose what movie to watch since,,,the 1990's? so I haven't paid any attention to the show for years. Who cares what they do?
ReplyDeleteAnd, don't forget the most important rule: that ALL actors are pathetic idiot lefty nutcases so that IF they win an Oscar they can tell the world how much they hate this country and everybody on it that has a BRAIN.
ReplyDeleteI've set a personal record for not seeing the Oscars for 63 years in a row. It will be 64 next year if I'm still pullin' in air.
