In what represents the most direct link between the movie industry's top prize and efforts to promote diversity and address systemic issues, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Tuesday that movies must meet certain criteria in terms of representation in order to be eligible for the Academy Award for best picture beginning in 2024.
During the Oscar campaigns in 2022 and 2023, movies will have to submit a confidential"inclusion standards" form, but that won't prevent eligibility until the 96th Academy Awards. Next year's awards, encompassing movies released in 2020, have already been delayed by two months due to the disruptions to film distribution caused by the coronavirus.
Diversity & inclusiveness is good. However this is silly. This has the potential to disqualify amazing movies. Like 1917, a historical movie based on real events meets none of the criteria however it is a phenomenal movie! Movies should win off of talent not forced wokness
Hollywood been lecturing us 4 years SAY YOUR SRY 4 BEING WHITE & APOLOGIZE DENZEL WASHINTON deserve 2 win OSCAR JUST LIKE EVERY1 WHO WON DID had nothing 2 do with RACE Hollywood ben spewing race lie NOW FINALLY they will walk the walk INSTEAD OF talking the talk GOT 2 LOVE IT!
Puke puke puke. LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder
Sala ekladki ko help nai karta kya salman khan huchada hai
Ok. What happened to merit based. Great about giving opportunities but think this will cause resentment and unintended woke consequences
Shouldn’t the amount of inclusion represent society? If 13% of Americans are black, 2% lgbt, shouldn’t that be all that is required for social equality. Why is there this ridiculous call to overcompensate.
They should also make a rule that they can't hire paedophiles, rapists and sexual abusers. But then half of Hollywood would be gone!
😂😂😂
I'm a progressive lefty & all for inclusivity & all that, but this is the very antithesis of producing art. It's the film equivalent of paint-by-numbers. It's just Hollywood tossing a soothing pacifier to butt-hurt millennial snowflakes. Great art NEVER followed formulas.
This shit is getting beyond ridiculous.
Lol. The percentage of black people, LBGTQ and other minorities is under 20% of the population. Yet they want to be equal. Anyone who can add knows it’s not possible. These gimmicks can’t change the impossible.
And if a movie is set during the middle ages of Europe? Are we then to expect actors of color to be introduced into films which historically would never see those particular races? I agree that parts should be played by actors of the same race as the characters but c’mon.
No one cares/watches the Oscar thing anymore, irrelevant.
Not exactly sure how Oscar selections are made but something tells me that there's a board(s) involved in the selection process. How about we start by diversifying the boards involved in the selection?
Ridiculous
And how you make your quota in movies like “War and Peace”, you Oscar clueless dummies?
I love how Kirstie Alley is incensed. Like when was she ever in anything nominated for an Oscar 🤣 kirstiealley
If Oscars want to make a difference, instead of dumbing down best pic quals, all the members should resign and give positions to minorities to be cleansed of white privilege. JeffZuckerCNN needs to do same! ZuckerResign
Boycott Hollywood
Didn’t we do this in the workplace a few decades ago. Don’t racial profile for crime. But do racial profile for jobs, awards, etc.
Does anyone even care about the Oscars?
Congratulations, they're about to ruin an art
Well, that’s most war stories, historical white stories and chick flicks up the Swanee then. What a load of contrived pretentious bollocks
Stupid no one cares anymore! Oscars are product of a bye gone era. Time to scrap all awards as biased and racist.
Who cares they only praise liberal junk
cracking up at people in these comments wanting to talk about “winning on merit”...spoiler alert, if you can’t write/create a movie with literally ONE character that doesn’t look like you, chances are you’re not actually that talented 🤷🏼♀️
Congratulations, they are about to kill an art.
Obama...
Can we cancel due to COVID-19 ? 📣👀✊🏾🤣
Just give everybody that shows up an Oscar. That is the PC way.
Casting agents will be busy finding a paralyzed transsexual blind immigrant Muslim minority with diabetes who grew up homeless & an orphan for those key roles in movies. Doesn’t matter if they can act - it’s all about checking all the boxes
Will this apply to Korean films?
Content doesn’t matter, only the color of the skin..... That’s basically what MLK said right...🤔
Long overdue!
Am arab And this is soooo ridiculous and stupid🤦♂️
The Oscars LMFAO!!
Oscars? What are Oscars?
Wow
To serve their fu*** agenda
So not best picture
No one cares about Hollywood anymore.
Political correctness at its finest.
Hollywood is done....
This is stupid. So now best movies with best actors wont get Oscars, instead worse movies with worse actors will get it. Lowering level so everyone can participate. Cant wait for viking movie with half of the actors black or asian🤣🤣
Yeah. My uncle who is black owned a small business in Mississippi for years. Literally every single employee he had was white. When ask why they were all white he replied 'I hired base on the person, not their race' Don't Force inclusion of fairness. Earn it!
since 2024. Is it based on 'who's in the end credits'? Not if it was 'good' or not?
So what about historical films, or period pieces that don't have POC and what not for accuracy? They can't win?
😂
Well there goes the Oscars. This is not about best picture anymore sad and I do mean sad After 55 years of watching the Oscars they’re over. It’s not the best is it it’s the one that needs to certain checklist of brokenness
The Oscars are officially woke. 😄
OMG YOU ALL MUST WATCH THIS SUPER VIDEO Russ ronaldo messi bbnaija buhari worldcup LeBron ozoandnengi 750naira askmesut giannis dannyings Lakers
Эта академия давным давно ничего не стоит....кому действительно надо давать...нет...дают средним...не интерестно...а теперь вообще пушки только птдоорам давать..и черным...бай бай академия...
Only Ladies from Bel Air must have thought this shit up. Cut the telecast to 2 hrs and quit trying to make it longer!
Maybe the Oscars have to wear shoes!!!
Reeks of forced diversity, was this a priority years ago
Boycott anything black.
WTF does that even mean?

Let’s just apply the same principle to NFL, MLB, NBA. Cause it is more important to be ‘fair’ than to be excellent —We need more white athletes. Black privilege in sports is discouraging to white kids...sounds ridiculous right? Forcing formulation results In mediocracy.
In similar news, the NBA is making white inclusion necessary to play for a championship. Oh, wait, that's not happening.
That's just patronization, has anyone checked the credits on Hollywood movies in the last hundred years?
Hollywood has died.
Racial and sexual quotas are cool again! In case you’re thick: this means they are forcing filmmakers to hire unqualified people to meet an arbitrary number to satisfy the woke mob. Because they are cowardly pieces of garbage.
It won't matter. Movies will continue to be made not for the sake of the f..kin Oscars, but for love of the art itself . Isn't that how it's always been? F..K you Academy!! Jesus!
Affirmative action in all life again and even in awards
By new representations they mean “more white actors”
(((Oscar awards)))
Wait...so you’re saying that every single movie must have a least one of every single type of human being...or just the races that make your movie appear the most woke to the liberal social engineers who want ro control how we think? 🤔
This is getting absolutely ridiculous.
Great no good movies then
No longer any artistic freedom in America. You are now told who you can collaborate with, your message must fit the Academy’s narrative, and forget any entrepreneurial spirit. You must hire according to TheAcademy standards -so basically affirmative action in the film industry
So each race will have presentation? Best Caucasian movie goes to? Umm interesting.......
Well by these rules some movies would not have won. Ordinary People. Talk about dull people.
The Think Police is coming Oscars
Check it out! I will do cut out image background removal professionally pho... for $5 on Fiverr
The problem with representation begins and ends with the studio heads who make all the decisions.
Dr. Yan Limeng participated in the Bannon Fighting Room: Several factors judged that the CCP deliberately released the virus.
De neger omdat het moet, zeggen wij in Nederland
So... not necessarily the best film anymore...
Why bother, no one watches it anymore 😆
Affirmative Action for Hollywood - if they are so woke, why do the need someone to give them requirements for diversity
Does somebody have any idea about how they are going formally to identify these representatives, especially for LGBT?
Judge by merits? No, let's judge by skin color, race, sex orientation. Those left wings are trying to force us to kneeling to the junk rules they setup. Boycott Oscar!
Just give it to someone not white. Who fucking cares. I just don’t want to hear about it.
This is the End.
So now we get to see straight white directors write stories about African American gay couples in order to get a trophy. Lol. I can’t wait to see people fail miserably at representing true values of minorities while trying to win an Oscar by checking a box on their feelings list.
I hope they add: 'The best diverse movie that flopped so hard because its obvious that it was made to please blue checkmarks who give a crap about actual reality or progress'
Lol what a joke
Sickening
Look I see what they are trying to do, if you want more diverse movies have more black people direct other than Jordan Peele it's not the complicated also tell female directors to not direct shit movies
So will a foreign film have to meet the same standards?
looking forward to seeing the next version of The Godfather with Denzel Washington as Vito Corleone and Alex Landi in the role of Michael... beginning with Connie‘s traditional jewish wedding...
Not far enough, need to add religious representation on & off camera, need to ensure LDS, jehovah witnesses, sikhs muslims, Buddhists, hindus, catholics all included...I want to see a Mormon key grip in the creds, otherwise it’s all BS.
Will the last person in Hollywood with common sense please turn out the lights when leaving?
Here is BIDEN, in his own words, talking about BLACK PEOPLE! He called them PREDATORS! that must be taken Out of our Societies! Biden is a Racist! RT Biden is a Racist!! BlackTwitter JoeBidenIsARacist Africans
oscarssowoke
That gives them a few more years to do nothing.
Any minority actors offended by this handicap made by white people on their behalf?
Almost imperceptibly our society is imposing limits and bias which are not compatible with free speech. Arts in general should never be a form of political expression. Do not create a new MacCarthysm.
So brave
So basically most of the greatest movies out there who won the most academy awards would not even be eligible. SMH
Your crappy network should follow the same standards. With Lemmon you kill two birds with one stone 😜
That’s right, make talent & ability irrelevant just to out woke everyone else 😂😂😂
Stupidity at it’s best, not watching it from now on
This is absurd. They will just lose more supporters and viewers. Will movies from countries with a predominantly black population have to include whites or other perceived 'racial' minorities? How will one be able to make any historical realistic movies!?
Yep racism on steroids, got to have those token Blacks, Hispanics, gays, liberals and they all have to be portrayed as dominant over whites to make up for slavery 200 years ago
Nice
So like affirmative action for film nominations? TheAcademy The Oscars are antiquated & irrelevant anyway.
Hi, Guys please Support me..And..please visit my gig.
Just driving that narrative down your throat...
Hi, Guys please Support me..And..please visit my gig.
If we're not supposed to be judging people based on the color of their skin, then why are they basing awards it?
Blacks make up 12% of the population. The new requirement is that 30% of the cast must be black. Welcome to Biden's America!
Meanwhile Trump plays golf...”it is what it is...I’m not responsible.“
Fauci is no longer believable. He is just an hysteric. Remember he refused to approve a drug that would have saved thousands of AIDS patients. Sound familiar? Every prediction he has made has been false based on faulty data. He has been sprouting bullshit again today.
affirmative action Oscar
Oscars are dead
Wait.... they still have Award Ceremonies?
So Let’s have a person from each of the 189 countries in every single film because leaving them out would be discriminatory against that country.... The world has gone absolutely mad. It’s depressing
No one cares anymore. Hollywood irrelevant to most people now. Oscar's are a yawn.
Affirmative Action?
This is a catchy headline, but it's a really broad list. Casting for ex - most movies could meet that 30% min ensemble cast option bc it includes women - say a movie has 20 ensemble characters - if you have 6 women, you're set.
How about making quality movies that entertain rather than to win awards. If it wins an award for being an excellent movie then great, but don’t compromise your films so they qualify for awards. Thats just ridiculous. Hollywood
Why is this’ remaking news?’ Who cares?! We’re under Drive w COVID. No jobs & a shitty President. Get real. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
Does BET, the Ebony Awards, blacks awards shows should also be inclusive.
Most logical stories have not room to accommodate all these interests.
So I guess Ride Along 6 will be nominated for best picture.
While I’m all for inclusivity, how can art be “guided” - what if a great story does not incorporate the guidelines? Does it automatically mean it cannot be eligible for best picture?
