I assume they'll also soon finalize exactly how many genders for Best & Supporting Oscars they'll be expanding to? Right now, it's just male Actors and female Actresses. So, can we expect new Oscars for Best Actorex and Best Supporting Actorex? Perhaps we'll see a "Best Supporting Tri-Gendered Acting-Person"?

With so many new genders being discovered every year by Woke Departments at "institutions of higher learning," the number of Oscars issued could be phenomenal!

My gratitude goes to Hollywood - whose awards shows I've not watched in 15+ years, for giving me ever more reasons to not watch.

Wait, they’re using race to discriminate?!

Somebody call the SCOTUS, check if the 25 years are up

They should apply the same to the NBA.

At least one Jewish guy, one Asian, and the teams must be 60% white.

Affirmative action destroys everything it touches.

No movies about Europe prior to 1600 is eligible then, I guess.

We should all just start identifying as African-American women and demand all the affirmative action perks that accrue to such identification and when they say we aren’t African-American women call them racist homophobes.

No more movies about German Submarine crews.

And any number of other types.

Farcical.

Why I primarily only watch foreign movies now.

I think “Train to Busan” was the last movie I watched.

The end of actual interest in who or what is actually the best of all, but who is best in each ‘diversity’ category. Sounds like “Oscar” has joined the “everyone gets an award club,” thus destroying the original intent of the awards. But then, I’ve stopped watching 99% of modern movies, as they rarely top those made back in the 30’s through 60’s.

More racism. The last thing we need in society. We already cannot abide all the DNC and BLM racism

They are committing suicide at such a fast pace, it’s exhilarating!

My wife and I go back to slightly older series and movies—anything to not watch the new PC crud. We watched “Fresh Off The Boat” until Disney made all the ABC shows convert a character to being lesbian or having another sexual orientation to laud. We watched “The Last Man On Earth” on FOX until they made two characters lesbian. There have been other similar “unveilings” elsewhere on CBS, too.

We don’t need to be subtly or overtly indoctrinated. Gay people make up less than 3% of the population, but polls find younger people think over 20% of the population are gay.

So when I hear PC going the next step against Hollywood, I ask, “What can we all do to hasten Hollywood’s demise?”

They already do that and the movies fail time and again.

The requirements are passive aggressively anti-Semitic.
