Oscar Eligibility Will Officially Be Based on Quotas, Skin Colour of Actors and Crew
Maybe white males can get together and have their own Oscar ceremony.
The magic number here is “30 percent.” That’s right — they don’t even try to hide it. It’s a quota.
STANDARD A: ON-SCREEN REPRESENTATION, THEMES AND NARRATIVES
To achieve Standard A, the film must meet ONE of the following criteria:
A1. Lead or significant supporting actors
At least one of the lead actors or significant supporting actors is from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group.
• Asian
• Hispanic/Latino
• Black/African American
• Indigenous/Native American/Alaskan Native
• Middle Eastern/North African
• Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander
• Other underrepresented race or ethnicity
A2. General ensemble cast
At least 30% of all actors in secondary and more minor roles are from at least two of the following underrepresented groups:
• Women
• Racial or ethnic group
• LGBTQ+
• People with cognitive or physical disabilities, or who are deaf or hard of hearing
I think the Nazis were the last bunch to judge artistic merit based on race and ethnicity. Hollywood has got nothing on them.
B1. Creative leadership and department heads
At least two of the following creative leadership positions and department heads—Casting Director, Cinematographer, Composer, Costume Designer, Director, Editor, Hairstylist, Makeup Artist, Producer, Production Designer, Set Decorator, Sound, VFX Supervisor, Writer—are from the following underrepresented groups:
• Women
• Racial or ethnic group
• LGBTQ+
• People with cognitive or physical disabilities, or who are deaf or hard of hearing
At least one of those positions must belong to the following underrepresented racial or ethnic group:
• Asian
• Hispanic/Latino
• Black/African American
• Indigenous/Native American/Alaskan Native
• Middle Eastern/North African
• Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander
• Other underrepresented race or ethnicity
After 2024 when these standards are in play, you can really hit the jackpot by making a film with a black lesbian heroine, whose best friend (an Asian) lost his leg in the war and the black lesbian’s adopted trans-sexual sister (Arab) is deaf and wants to marry the legless guy. Cha-ching.
The Oscars will claim that it isn’t “quotas” they’re imposing, only “suggestions” to encourage “inclusion.” I can see it as far as most of the crafts are concerned. But “themes” and “narratives”? That is blatant interference in the creative process. And for what? To achieve a nebulous goal of making sure more black actors and actresses win an Oscar and more black-themed films are considered?
Aren’t they excluding other films by making rules only to include certain films based on manufactured criteria? How is that different than excluding films because black people, or gay people, or women were in it?
A few years ago, during the Oscar ceremony, they stopped the practice of announcing the Oscar recipient by saying, “And the winner is…” Apparently, that hurt some of the snowflakes’ feelings so now they say, “And the Oscar goes to…” There are no winners or losers among Oscar nominees anymore anyway — not when you have to be a certain colour or sex, or love someone of the same sex to even be considered.
So, what happened to…… the awards are based on talent? Is talent a thing of the past now?
Do you mean that they are not already?
That was my thinking too! The Oscars have been woke for years and as a consequence have been getting lower and lower viewership.
Warning: From the Corrupt News Network:
New York (CNN Business)The 92nd Academy Awards drew an average of 23.6 million viewers for ABC on Sunday — a new low for Hollywood’s biggest night.
The awards show saw a decrease of 20% from last year’s show, which brought in 29.6 million viewers. The previous low was 2018’s telecast, which drew in an average 26.5 million viewers.

It used to be about the best films and actors, now its about a trophy for everyone lol what a joke, their current crop is complete rubbish and ive given up on even entertainment value from any of it.
Have stopped, long ago, giving any credibility to “The Oscars”. Pointless. They have lost the plot.
Should be re named the Tosscars.
