Hollywood star Richard Dreyfuss, an Academy Award–winning actor best known for his role in the Jaws, said in an interview that the new diversity rules imposed by the Oscars for films to be eligible for the “Best Picture” award “make me vomit.”
“They make me vomit,” Dreyfuss told Margaret Hoover on Firing Line which aired Friday night on PBS. “This is an art form. No one should be telling me as an artist that I have to give in to the latest, most current idea of what morality is.”
New policies enacted by the Oscrars in 2024 will see film award eligibility dependent upon meeting two of four stipulated diversity benchmarks. One, for instance, mandates a third of a movie cast must be comprised of “an underrepresented group.”
The actor also discussed his decades-long commitment to improving civics education. In 2006, the star created the Dreyfuss Civics Initiative aimed at revitalizing national awareness of government and politics.
“I think we’re in the endgame right now,” he told PBS. “We could let slip the greatest idea for governance ever devised, and we won’t even know that it happened.”
“I still can’t really wrap my head around the fact that people confuse being exposed to an opposing view on any subject with being a traitor or with being a subversive.”

Now they want to appear to not have had any hand in it.
How and when did he do that?
Buwahahaha. Hollywood reaping what they sew... not enough minorities in roles, not enough gays, not enough trans, not enough diversity... too much cis ness
Yup. We warned you. I bet Dreyfus never listened to one Rush show.
He’s too old to care about being invited to the cool parties now so what the hell.
Dreyfuss has been red pilled. He’s quite outspoken about how things are going in this country and the world.
“The libs are starting to get the message (some of them)”
Old school Libs maybe, they are dying off. They were 95% wrong on everything, their contemporaries are wrong 100% of the time.
He read one of Mark Steyn’s books which helped turn him around. He’s a Steyn fan.
Doing to movies what they have already done to commercials.
Re: “They already have a sign “No Christians need apply”.
I think you are right. They would have to keep it a tight secret.
You planning on issuing another one of your lame resolutions that the rezoning for Golden Shores is supporting the U.S. Constitution and not Meatball Leo's bank account? Your grifting is getting more brazen and more obvious.
What is it that you're famous for saying to constituents? "Don't vote for me. Suffer!"
You and greaseball Sonny Borrelli are going to LOSE!
Boo!
Wow...great to hear this from Richard Dreyfuss
Ha ha, now the WOKE horse shit has come back to bite the libs in the ass.
