Oscars mandate inclusion standards for best picture contenders
- fortran77 6y agoWhat about 1 actor films? Or the 1939 film "The Women" (no men in the cast!) Or historical films like "Downfall?" How diverse was Hitler's bunker?
- itsdrewmiller 6y agoThey provide two different qualification methods that require nothing of the content of the movie - just the off-screen staffing.

- stOneskull 6y agoas long as you can still make a film that moves you rather than for the "themes and narratives" that others want. we shouldn't make films in order to win awards or approval anyway.
- me_me_me 6y agoRemember when everyone lost their shit when they forcefully pushed black man as god in Bruce the Almighty? No? Because Morgan Freeman is an amazing actor. Not Amazing black actor. Just actor. No qualifiers needed. He fitted that role like he was born to play god. More recent example is Dolemite Is My Name. Its a great biography/comedy. You can have great minority actors or whole cast movies if its natural and not forced. This is another calculated PR stunt by Hollywoo - a desperate attempt to stay relevant. Anyhow their golden years are 20 years past us. Apart from Nolan and Tarantino there are hardly any interesting movie productions. Most interesting stuff is on netflix et al. So have a good drown Hollywoo as you go down all alone dragged down by that stash of sequel cash.
