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.
You must have missed the memo. they will just remake them with black actors in the lead. i direct you to the recent release of “Mary, Queen of Scots.”
What, you didn’t know that Lord Darmley was actually black???
> I guess most period dramas are verboten <
There is actually a way around that. Just turn the movie into an “historical drama” by adding pretend PC characters.
Example: In a movie about U-boats, have half the crew be female. Rosie O’Donnell could be the captain. And the head of Germany’s submarine arm could be some black guy. It could work, I tell ya.
films will be required to meet “representation and inclusion standards” to qualify for awards.
“12 Years a Slave” would be excluded from Oscar consideration? Racist!

Or just be stupid like a black Arab in Robin Hood
Haven’t you heard of Black Russians!
