Culture Oscars Adding ‘Inclusion Standards’ To Award Eligibility Amid Black Lives Matter Movement - Expect more black people, women and gays to win awards that they didn’t really need, earn or deserve

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will require films to meet “representation and inclusion standards” prior to eligibility for awards.

The Oscars didn’t reveal any details of the new standards, according to a news releaseshared by the organization Friday.

“While the Academy has made strides, we know there is much more work to be done in order to ensure equitable opportunities across the board,” Academy CEO Dawn Hudson said in a statement. “The need to address this issue is urgent. To that end, we will amend—and continue to examine—our rules and procedures to ensure that all voices are heard and celebrated.”

“Through the dedication, focus, and concerted effort of our Board of Governors and members on the branch executive committees, the Academy has surpassed the goals of our A2020 initiative,” Academy President David Rubin said. “But to truly meet this moment, we must recognize how much more needs to be done, and we must listen, learn, embrace the challenge, and hold ourselves and our community accountable.”

The initiative was created to “advance inclusion in the entertainment industry and increase representation within its membership and the greater film community.”

A task force consisting of industry leaders will be formed by the end of July, according to the news release.

The move to become more inclusive comes after the Oscars were criticized in 2016 under the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite after no people of color were nominated for awards for two years in a row.

 

[Don't Tread on Me]

What the fuck is going on? Why is this all happening? We've had protests before but this seems really widespread at this point. Basically every company is announcing huge policy changes kowtowing to blacks at the same time.

What the fuck is going on? Why is this all happening? We've had protests before but this seems really widespread at this point. Basically every company is announcing huge policy changes kowtowing to blacks at the same time.

HR departments have been heavily infiltrated and scared their boomer bosses, who are all imbeciles that take twitter as word of god. Jack Dorsey has unintentionally created a machine for controlling corporate America.

 

[Sir Wesley Tailpipe]

Question: Would Parasite meet these criteria? Its cast and crew was 100% Koreans from Korea.

Parasite was only nominated for Best Picture so the academy could make sure Joker wouldn’t win. No other foreign film has been nominated in that category, because that is how the rules work, but they made a specific exception.

The Oscars have never been about actually rewarding quality, and some Best Picture winners have been universally regarded as mediocre or even outright crap, but if the politics of the makers or the message of the movie are correct, they win.

 

[Mr. ShadowCreek]

The thing about winning awards is that it's supposed to be a feeling of happiness and pride though all the hard work you put into it. When someone put all they have into it because it's their passion. If you do nothing to earn it then what's the point? It's like winning a participation trophy. It's just a reminder you didn't win the real thing or win the fair way. If you don't win you try harder and hope you can get it next time. If not then maybe there will always be someone better at it then you. Either try again or try something else you're good at.

 

[The best and greatest]

Who cares?

 

[OttoWest]

Parasite was only nominated for Best Picture so the academy could make sure Joker wouldn’t win. No other foreign film has been nominated in that category, because that is how the rules work, but they made a specific exception.

This is wrong. There’s no rule preventing a foreign film getting into best picture and there never has been.

Roma. Amour. Babel. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Plus 7 more going all the way back to Grand Illusion in 1938. All foreign, all nominated for Best Picture.

 

[Notgoodwithusernames]

This is going to do more harm for representation

Many films vying for academy awards will just attempt to fulfill the bare minimum requirements

This will result in rushed casting and/or last minute script changes

This will result in both these films flopping with audiences and the Oscars continuing to hemorrhage viewers

Somewhere along the lines the people behind the Oscars will meet to discuss strategies to revitalize interest in the dying awards show

Instead of deciding to scrap the arbitrary checklists that encourage laziness diversity as a whole will be blamed which will ultimately hurt minorities in Hollywood who are legitimately talented just as much as the diversity hires

The diversity and inclusion initiative has been a heavy focus for the Oscars the past few years, shown by the expansive membership initiative. Today, as part of the Academy Aperture 2025 initiative, AMPAS announced new representation and inclusion standards in order to be eligible in the best picture category.

For the 94th and 95th Oscars ceremonies, scheduled for 2022 and 2023, a film will submit a confidential Academy Inclusion Standards form to be considered for best picture.

Academy President David Rubin and Academy CEO Dawn Hudson said in a joint statement, “The aperture must widen to reflect our diverse global population in both the creation of motion pictures and in the audiences who connect with them. The Academy is committed to playing a vital role in helping make this a reality.” They continued, “the Academy is committed to playing a vital role in helping make this a reality.”

So shitty movies will win because they want to promote 'diversity'. And the Oscars become more irrelevant. Wasn't last years Oscar's the lowest viewership ever? And they think this is going to help? Fucking lol.

Pretty much every film will have Standards C and D already covered, so the Oscars stunt was completely performative to appease losers on twitter.

 

[Positron]

I can see it now. Hollywood anticipates another 4 years of Trump, so they tank their already-sinking ship just to pin it on him.

 

[AMHOLIO]

If its not giving awards based on merit then who cares? Anyone who keeps up with movie news knows that the oscars had been giving out awards to buttbuddies and films that needed an advertisment boost, this is just outright stating it.

 

[Grand_Ole_Ostritch]

What, Rich Evans is hosting the Oscars?!

I'd actually watch the Oscars if he was.

 

[Dom Cruise]

This is nauseating, I guess we can forget about movies like Braveheart or Gladiator ever winning Best Picture again because "too many white people!"

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

Couple problems

One issue is that as written, it will be easier for studio movies to meet these standards than for indies. Some paid internships plus a diverse marketing dept., and a studio movie is covered. Indies may have to meet a higher standard that involves casting/content.

There are also legal issues with asking about someone's sexual orientation/identity or disability status in the hiring process. And the moment when AMPAS will be forced to say whether Jews count or not could be ugly enough to blow this all up.

 

[Orange Rhymer]

Question: Would Parasite meet these criteria? Its cast and crew was 100% Koreans from Korea.

Similar to medical school admission, Asians are given an Oscar handicap, not preference. Jews hate smart people.

 

[The Dude]

"And the Oscar for the biggest girl-dick on a multiracial transwomyn in a motion picture goes to..."

 

[Orange Rhymer]

Real question:
What fucking movies? 2020 was a record LOW for films and attendance. Are the Oscars including streamed films? What about the 'Afterschool Special' quality trashfires that HBO and Netflix churn out?
I can't wait to see Bill and Ted sweep the Oscars, and 3/4 of Hollywood commits seppaku.
Also:
"I got an Oscar for being Black"
What actor wouldn't want that symbol of pride on their IMDB?

 

[Muttnik]

And then there's Joker.

It was made on a pauper's budget, had absolutely no market for China, had pretty much no "diversity", featured a troubled white male protagonist, was rated R, and could easily be interpreted as a rallying cry against the callousness of the media and the lack of compassion for those in need. This was one of the biggest hits of last year, even with all these limiting factors in mind. Even with the media shitting on it and trying to paint it as a movie for incels and white supremacists. It was, in every sense of the word, the underdog that people wanted to win and it overcame every obstacle, making buttloads of money in the process.

I have no problem with movies featuring a wide range of representation. But when it's all to fill a quota, the goodwill behind the message is gone, especially when it's at the expense of other would-be Oscar contenders. And if a movie like Joker generated the level of interest and cultural impact that it did, this is a sign that pandering doesn't mean SHIT when it comes to the things people enjoy.

So go ahead. I stopped watching the Oscars a long time ago. This is honestly insulting to anyone regardless of their race, creed, orientation, gender, etc. No one should want to be used as a token to win. And the underdogs will keep making money regardless of the stupid standards Hollywood is trying to push.

Holy motherfucker, they're actually using the asinine "Latinx" thing unironically.

Never mind that it sounds like a shitty condom brand, do these idiots even realize that Spanish is a gendered language?
