Was pretty diverse. Men, Elves, dwarves, orcs, you could pretend Frodo was gay (might have been).

Let's shoot a movie about the 80 years war, and have whoopi Goldberg play Elizabeth I.

What about Soul Man (1986) starring C. Thomas Howell in blackface?

Would have been a lot better with LBGTQ and/or black actors.

Forest Gump had a Black Panther Party.

It would be eligible.

According the failing New York Times, they will do "spot checks" of sets to ensure compliance.

Mandingo's Black love splatters is going to be up in 2021.

Piper Perri will be up for best supporting actress.

How does a movie like "The King's Speech" now qualify?

If you take this particular movie, the only way for it to qualify would be to inject some contrived scenes where you force some storyline from the British colonies and how they related to the storyarc that didn't actually occur in real life. That contrived storyline would then harm the overall quality of the movie.

It's so dumb.

DirectorAnon was spot on, last month on /pol/.

There is a coordinated effort to force this horse shite down the throats of average Americans.

Sometimes the role doesn’t call for a black or Latino or gay person. Putting a gay or black person in Lord of the Rings wouldn’t make any sense to the overall plot in the settings of the story. But liberals love to play the angle “There’s no blacks in it, it’s a racist movie”. Right... so if I don’t include xyz, I must be anti xyz? I love chocolate but I don’t want it on my steak. An ingredient is to a recipe as a role is to a movie.

And good writings/acting will move the audience in a universal way. If you only feel compassion for a character because he/she is the sane race as you, it says a lot about you as a human being.

Can we Make 1800s America movies with white slaves? Since we aren’t trying to be accurate but diverse and all

I feel underrepresented in those roles

I’m still sort of expecting The Academy to revoke Gone with the Wind’s Oscar for Best Picture.

How would they actually satisfy the new criteria? What main character could have been a minority?
