I guess period pieces are automatically not eligible?

Looks like a lot of these miffed organizations are going to get elbowed off into irrelevance. The world is at a cultural tipping point of enough-too-much-leftiness.

You’re not going to need the awards when you’ve killed movies

Only if you make Queen Elizabeth I a coal black lesbian, who speaks with an Indian accent, Alfred the Great has to be a Muslim Paki, Winston Churchill as a skinny, queer, on welfare Egyptian, and on and on and on like that, I guess.

The BEEB has absolutely RUINED almost EVERY SINGLE Shakespearean play, now, by casting blacks in MAJOR roles, where they do NOT belong at all!

You should!

Hollyweird and T.V. shows made here, have done the same damned thing and have already picked the OSCAR winners according to race, queerness, transgender, etc.!

They’ll still give out awards; especially for highly praised FLOPS that the vast majority of people have less than no desire to see; sadly.

Contrary to certain people’s imaginations, I actually go whole days without running into Blacks and homosexuals.

Some days I do run into them. That’s life. It is as it should be.

Movies can depict real life without swapping out male roles, and packing the cast with tokens.

Shame on these racists.

It depends on the period.

I might be wrong, but I think Shakespeare transcends race. A black actor in a Shakespeare play doesn’t bother me too much at all. After all, all the female roles were played by boys/young men back in the day.

But in depicting actual historic events, putting blacks where they weren’t is just falsifying reality for political correctness. I doubt there were many blacks at the Battle of Runnymede.
