EVERYONE!
SO HAVING GONE FROM 5 NOMINEES FOR BEST PICTURE THE ACADEMY UPPED IT TO TEN IN AN EFFORT TO INCLUDE MORE DIVERSITY! APPARENTLY THAT WASN’T GOOD ENOUGH SO THE MOVIE FOLKS HAVE NOW ADDED THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:
TO MEET THE ONSCREEN REPRESENTATION STANDARD, AT LEAST ONE OF THE LEAD ACTORS OR A SIGNIFICANT SUPPORTING ACTOR MUST BE FROM AN UNDERREPRESENTED RACIAL OR ETHNIC GROUP, WHETHER THAT MEANS ASIAN, HISPANIC, BLACK, INDIGENOUS, NATIVE AMERICAN, MIDDLE EASTERN, NORTH AFRICAN, NATIVE HAWAIIAN OR OTHER PACIFIC ISLANDER.
THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES: THIRTY PERCENT OF ALL ACTORS IN SECONDARY OR MORE MINOR ROLES COULD COME FROM TWO OF THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES: WOMEN, L.G.B.T.Q., AN UNDERREPRESENTED RACIAL OR ETHNIC GROUP, OR THOSE WITH COGNITIVE OR PHYSICAL DISABILITIES. OR THE MAIN STORY LINE MUST FOCUS ON AN UNDERREPRESENTED GROUP.
I DISCONTINUED WATCHING THE OSCARS BECAUSE IT JUST BECAME A LECTURE ON POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND NOW WILL LIKELY STOP WATCHING MOVIES ALL TOGETHER. AND THAT IS ALL I’M GOING TO SAY ABOUT THAT!
