As promised when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced its Academy Aperture 2025 initiative in June, new standards of representation and inclusion have been announced by AMPAS today that will gradually be put in place for the 94th (2022) and 95th (2023) Oscars, but in full effect beginning with the 96th Academy Awards in 2024. In its most dramatic swing towards true diversity, Oscar is laying down significant requirements in order to be eligible for Hollywood’s most sought after prize: Best Picture.
Having at least one Asian, Hispanic/Latinx, Black/African American, Indigenous/Native American/Alaskan Native, Middle Eastern/North African, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander or unspecified other underrepresented race or ethnicity as a “lead or significant supporting actor” is a potential requirement under the new guidelines, with those ethnicities also mentioned for prominent production and marketing jobs. Additionally employing women, LGBTQ+, members of a Racial or Ethnic group, and people with cognitive or physical disabilities or who are deaf or hard of hearing may be required for at least 30% of actors in secondary and more minor roles, having a storyline centered on an underrepresented group, hiring creative leadership and department heads, maintaining least 30% crew composition, paid internships, and representation in marketing and distribution are also all potential areas in order to be a Best Picture contender. Producers don’t have to meet all of the requirements of the new doctrine, just half.

We’ve been in that era for about 15-20 years already, for the most part.

These people are not interested in talent. It’s all about race with them.
Make a great film. Follow your own vision. Ignore the Oscars. Note which one withers and dies in the fullness of time.
For what it’s worth, the comments are uniformly negative.
“The Lawrence of Arabia reboot starring Jackie Chan”
That would be hilarious, Thx !
Oh brother.
Is that text Russian for Black Lives Matter?
But won’t everyone be dead from climate change by then? Who are they going to hire when everyone’s dead? I mean a guess you could do like Star Wars but a horror movie that starts in a later episode so everyone is already dead in the first movie that comes out. But other than that, well I mean still who’s going to make the statues?
Do they have to actually be Asian, Hispanic/Latinx, Black/African American, Indigenous/Native American/Alaskan Native, Middle Eastern/North African, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander or unspecified other underrepresented race - or could they just identify as one?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahahaha! !! ! ! ! ! ! !
Such stupid shit.
Everything liberals touch.
Everything.
Dr. Zhivago with an all African-American cast. At least Omar Sharif was from Africa.
STRELNIKOFF!!!
If I’d lost Julie Christie I’d be pissed off too.
My favorite scene in the whole movie was Klaus Kinski on the train...
“I am the only free man on this train!”
White actors are becoming the minority. Who is DeNiro going to punch in the face now?
