Oscars announce new diversity and inclusion standards for best picture nominees
The Hill ^ | 09 08 2020 | John Bowden

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced a new set of standards for the Academy Awards's best picture category on Tuesday as part of efforts to improve representation in film for underrepresented racial minorities, women, LGBTQ people and people with disabilities.

A statement on the Academy's website detailed four categories of standards for films, at least two of which a film must meet in order to be considered for a best picture nomination.

The four standards deal with a variety of issues including on-screen representation for actors and actresses of underrepresented groups in both casting and in the theme or subject matter of films, as well as off-screen opportunities in project leadership positions and general staffing.

The Oscars "must widen to reflect our diverse global population in both the creation of motion pictures and in the audiences who connect with them. The Academy is committed to playing a vital role in helping make this a reality,” Academy President David Rubin and Academy CEO Dawn Hudson said in a joint statement accompanying the announcement. “We believe these inclusion standards will be a catalyst for long-lasting, essential change in our industry.”

La-La Land doesn’t have to worry about the San Andreas Fault anymore.

It’s been stricken with a fatal disease, for which there will never be a virus.

“For the best Negro in a comedy”.

I was born in the Deep South in 1952. This sounds like we are going backwards.

So how can it still be called Best Picture? Is the movie industry really that stupid?

it’s now official: only “diverse” pics are allowed to be nominated, which means that all pics must conform to “diversity” ... these people are insane given that theaters are closed and going bankrupt and movie production is completely shutdown ... now they’re forcing future pics to conform with “diversity” as the goal rather than entertainment as the goal at the worst time possible in terms of attracting audiences ... also looks like only a tiny sliver of all possible stories are now possible to be made into movies .... and they didn’t need a Soviet Politburo to order this conformity of the “diverse”: they did it to themselves ...

If everybody has to be what they are, can it really be called acting?

Has the Academy cleared this new policy with China yet? Have they submitted it for approval?

HARRISON BERGERON by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal
before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter
than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was
stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the
211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing
vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.
