films will be required to meet "representation and inclusion standards" to qualify for awards.

So I guess a lot of David Lean movies would not make the cut. No people of color in "Doctor Zhivago" and no women in "Lawrence of Arabia". If requirements are specific about people of color I guess most period dramas are verboten.

People of color will now sweep the awards even if the film was made in the back yard and edited in the basement.

They’ll need a microscope to see the ratings of next year’s Oscars.

Oh, good. That should be entertaining. Something that has been sorely missing from those broadcasts for about 40 years.

Do people still watch that? I’ve not seen it since the mid 90’s.

Actually they need to give out participation trophies, like children’s sports groups.

We must no offend the Left by leaving out anyone who might be offended.

They need to give an Oscar to anyone that has ever been in a Hollywood film, and tell the original winners that they won because of white priviledge, and white guilt (sarc).

Let me guess: 1/2 the nominees have to be black?

Well, I’ve darkened the door of a movie theatre twice in the last few years (The King’s Speech and They Shall Not Grow Old), so it is certainly not my money funding these clowns.

So, they are going to give even more awards to bad movies who don’t deserve to win?

Hopefully they’ll still consider those people and movies that are totally unqualified and utterly unwatchable.

So favoring others based on their race, excludes others and is racist.

Further shrinking the number of people who will see a movie they want to watch.

Merit? What merit?

Race doesn’t matter except when it does.

The premier self congratulating festival of the elitist non essentials.

Stacking the deck to favor one tribe just like in every other aspect of this world. Kowtowing to blacks and Muslims because they threaten our lives.
