Having at least one Asian, Hispanic/Latinx, Black/African American, Indigenous/Native American/Alaskan Native, Middle Eastern/North African, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander or unspecified other underrepresented race or ethnicity as a “lead or significant supporting actor” is a potential requirement under the new guidelines, with those ethnicities also mentioned for prominent production and marketing jobs. Additionally employing women, LGBTQ+, members of a Racial or Ethnic group, and people with cognitive or physical disabilities or who are deaf or hard of hearing may be required for at least 30% of actors in secondary and more minor roles, having a storyline centered on an underrepresented group, hiring creative leadership and department heads, maintaining least 30% crew composition, paid internships, and representation in marketing and distribution are also all potential areas in order to be a Best Picture contender.

Thank God. This matters to me.



And wouldn't it be different for Hollywood if they employed less LGBQT or whatever that acronym is and hired more non gay people?

Not that I care, but it's weird you quoted an entire paragraph except the last sentence.

Maybe they should follow the guidance of the top universities and create separate awards for all of the minority groups, that way every group can be a winner.

They've given a start date to it and they've just lost a viewer. I think I was the only person on this board who was still halfway interested in the Oscars. It's not about rewarding art anymore if your film has to check boxes to be considered for a nomination.

Who gives a shite if your any good? Just gotta have a different pigment. Good fricking grief. The more things change the more they stay the same.

So I guess Lord of the Rings would not have been nominated for a single Oscar with this criteria.

I've never seen an industry so bent on making itself irrelevant.
