Good, that should be the final nail in the coffin for that useless event.

Yup.
Their ratings have collapsed already over the past few years from their anti Trump rantings. This new nonsense should about finish them off. And a jolly good thing too.

IMHO, Hollywood’s leftist agitprop has long been successful because it was insidiously subtle. I think the more blatant and in-your-face it becomes, the less cultural impact it will have. I know I could be wrong, but it seems Hollywood is actively seeking to marginalize its importance. I hope I’m right.

Well, they’ve been dead for a long time, now let’s just throw the dirt over them.

Liberals destroy everything they touch, literally everything.

> “Cheers” actress Kirstie Alley blasted the new quotas <

Kirstie Alley has gone and done it now! Hollywood will probably use a computer program to erase her from the old “Cheers” episodes, and replace her with Rosie O’Donnell.

Diversity and the rest of it derives from Marxist revolutionary ideology.

Looks like I’ll have to get Morgan Freedman to be the navigator in my remake of a German submarine film I’m calling Das reBoot.

Marxism has definitely taken a hold in Hollywood. They still don’t get it that they are entertainers and nothing else. If they don’t keep their customers happy, they will not have job.

Movies have mostly been farces for a long time, and no it will be obvious. In fact, the only ones to be taken seriously will probably be real farce.

Hollywood and the Oscars have been enforcing "diversity" quotas for years - they are simply formally admitting it so they can virtue signal in a press release.

Funny.. How ironic. So even in their vain industry, they had based the awards on merit of their craft for all these years, and mocked conservative thought for real life being based on merit (jobs pay, immigration) and now they’ve wiped that away and the identity politics beast will make them eat their own. Chickens coming home to roost.

Same with sports.

Yeah, you white people. Off the stage! We rigged this vote in the back rooms weeks ago! Screw that moron that got the envelopes mixed up!

LOL.
And a large number of Hollywoods white males just engaged in professional suicide to virtue signal.
Really smart guys.

Make a movie starring a gay, black female in a wheelchair and you not only have a winner for best picture but a winner for best actor.

Heh, heh, perfect example of the idiocy of these diversity requirements by the loony leftists running the Academy Awards (into the ground).

The right director could do a comic remake of some classic, mocking these rules by enforcing them.
