A different size and color Oscar award for each virtue?

I won’t be happy with any of this until these people correct the racist inspired error of 1940 and take away Vivien Leigh’s best actress award for Gone with the Wind and properly reward it instead to Hattie McDaniel.

Hattie McDaniel won an Academy Award for best Supporting Actress for her role in "Gone With The Wind'', the first black woman ever to win the award. So Vivien Leigh should have hers removed for the mere fact she was white and given to McDaniel because she was black? That's moral idiocy.

/sarcasm on/Thankfully “Lawrence of Arabia” and “Doctor Zhivago” would have made the cut on Standard A. That David Lean was way ahead of his time in casting Omar Sharif./sarcasm off/

Based on this standard Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” would have not been nominated for Best Picture. All the lead actors are white male English, I doubt 30% of the extras were from underrepresented groups although there were Africans soldiers fighting for the French, and woman nurses, and finally the story is not about some “underrepresented” group.

Now, does this mean that 13.7% of all Oscars must go to blacks? If we take into account reparations maybe they should get 70% of the Oscars. I hear that next year that white hetrosexuals will be banned from the Oscars.
I also read that film output will drop by 70% next year as they can’t find enough black actors.

Who knows, perhaps Hollywood along with pro sports will re-popularize reading.

Here it is condensed (from another site):

“To be eligible for Best Picture, films must meet any TWO of the following FOUR criteria.

1. ON-SCREEN REPRESENTATION

This standard can be met by fulfilling any ONE of these:

Lead actor or significant supporting actor from an ethnic minority group
At least 30 per cent of smaller roles are played by women, LGBT people, disabled people or ethnic minorities
The main storyline is centered on an under-represented group
2. CREATIVE LEADERSHIP

This standard can be met by fulfilling any ONE of these:

At least two senior creative posts, such as casting director, make-up artist or producer, are from an under-represented group including women
At least six smaller roles in the crew are filled by ethnic minorities
At least 30 per cent of the film’s total crew is from an under-represented group
3. INDUSTRY ACCESS

This standard can be met by fulfilling BOTH of these:

Studios and distributors must have paid interns or apprentices who are women or come from minority groups
Training opportunities must be offered to under-represented groups in production, distribution and financing
4. AUDIENCE DEVELOPMENT

This standard can be met by fulfilling this ONE requirement:

Multiple senior executives in publicity, marketing and distribution are women or minority groups “
