The Oscars were never truly about excellence. It was about promoting/advertising the studio's product.

That's why, several years ago, the Academy increased the number of Best Picture nominees from five to ten. It means more films can say "Best Picture Nominee" on their posters.

Exactly. People look to be offended.

Antisemitism is real, 99% of the perps are black or middle eastern or just stupid white liberals.

But a bunch of loser actors kvetching is not helpful.

Only propaganda shows will be made.
Talent not required. Great writing not required.
Some unfunny host will introduce people with jewelry thru their face and men dressed as women. The “actors & directors” will stand on stage and rant about how bad the USA is. If you do not like it then you will be called racist and a nazi.

FTA: As of this year, movies will only be nominated in the Oscars’ Best Picture category if one of the lead actors or a significant supporting actor is from one of the underrepresented racial or ethnic groups in the Academy’s list.

The standards shouldn’t apply to Jews or anyone else.
