As a result of its latest round of elections, the board of governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), the body that directs the Oscars’ strategic vision, is now made up of 31 women and 23 men, the academy announced on Monday. It is the first time that the board has a female majority in the academy’s 94-year history.
Actor Rita Wilson, documentary editor and producer Jean Tsien and composer Lesley Barber are among the women newly elected to the board of governors.
The number of people of color has also reached new record levels through the academy’s 2021-2022 elections, rising from 12 to 15. […]
The number of members was dramatically expanded in the wake of the #OscarsSoWhite controversy in 2015. At the time, the AMPAS revealed that 93% of its then 6,000 members where white, and 76% of them were men, with an average age of 63.
The academy then pledged in early 2016 to double the number of women and people of color by 2020, a goal that, according to the organization’s own count, was indeed surpassed in June last year, with membership now one-third female and 19% “underrepresented minorities.” …

Presumption of anachronistic context. Women have had the vote for almost 101 years; have they been voting Republican as a large block before our current era? What was different about the voting patterns of Americans at large because of the Nineteenth Amendment? Did it significantly increase the Democratic advantage back then as well as now? Seems to me that 2016 revealed something very different from what the liberal media outlets are pushing on the public with respect to women and their voting patterns.
Why is this matter seemingly to you like an itch you cannot reach?
You won’t sort out fact from fiction by listening to the alphabet networks’ exit polls, that’s for sure.
Why is this matter seemingly to you like an itch you cannot reach?
Speaking of presumption, you make a lot of them. You deflect a lot also.
You saying that you’re merely trolling and that I should ignore you? 😁
No, I’m not trolling. I’m trying to illicit some sort of reasoning behind your idea that white men are more responsible for democratic electoral success than women. Can you give me anything besides “because I say so.”
2020 was the biggest piece of evidence. Their alleged female and black blocs could not get Biden over the top, so fraud was resorted to.
You certainly are trolling. This matter is something you refuse to stop posting about. And it’s off-topic for this thread, to boot.
So I should stop posting to this debate, but not you? Heads you win, tails I lose.
I think we can agree on one thing. I have posted data to support my position, you have not. Let’s leave it at that.
No, I do not agree that you have posted data. You certainly have posted assertions.
You just can’t let it go, can you?
What debate?
The only debate is in your head.
You’re not defending your viewpoint? What do you call it then?
So you admit it’s a debate. We’re starting to agree more and more!
No; you assert it’s a debate. I’m just trying to wake you from your two-day-old reverie 😋
BTW, have you anything to say about the Oscars? That is what the thread’s about, and I don’t have any reason to disbelieve the report of their board being majority female.
No, I don’t.
I googled: woman who ruined star wars
Results: George Lucas Reportedly Blames Kathleen Kennedy For Ruining Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. The name Kathleen Kennedy is enough to send some longtime Star Wars fans into a fit of rage
Now every film has to have a woke checklist so no movie will be worth seeing if they want to be considered for an Oscar.
Wow. So what?
I’m a woman and don’t care about Hollywood at all.
I suppose they think that their choices will be better, now that there’s estrogen involved.
Newsflash: Most Americans don’t care.
