Academy Strips 'Schindler's List' Of Best Picture Award Due To Lack Of Diversity
The Babylon Bee ^ | September 11, 2020

BEVERLY HILLS, CA—The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has stripped Schindler's List of its Best Motion Picture award for not having enough LGBTQ+ characters, people of color, and other oppressed groups.

"Schindler's List would have been a great movie if it just had a dozen transgendered characters," said Le'Jon de Froofroo, spokesperson for the Academy. "As it is, there are just a bunch of Jews and Germans -- very privileged races."

"Also, the movie has Nazis -- this is the current year, for goodness' sake!"

Steven Spielberg has been ordered by the Academy to re-release the film with an unnecessary LGBTQ+ side plot, a gay roommate for Schindler, and a song and dance number set to a Lady Gaga song over the end credits if he wishes to re-earn the Academy Award. Otherwise, it will be re-awarded to Brokeback Mountain.

I’d have to do a frame by frame review of the concentration camp scene but there may have been some homosexual charecters there. Look for the pink downward pointing triangle on the Star of David, or a solitary pink downward triangle on the uniforms.

What’s funny is that Gone with the Wind meets the new “diversity” requirements of hollywierd.

I know that's from a famous TV show...was it Seinfeld (I never watched it)? If so was that a real quote from the show?

Yup. Seinfeld. His parents were visiting and he had urges.

He and his girlfriend went to Schindler’s list and made out.

>>so you only win the Awards by have the most Diverse Movie

Diversity is a lie. If your film is entirely staffed and made by special interest groups you can still win even though you openly discriminated against white heterosexual males in your production.
