Are you suggesting that crying about the casting in a movie months after it has already been playing in theaters is not soft? Because it definitely is.

Did he distort the photo?

It's clearly a distortion. One girl is made up and pictured in natural light. The other is acting in a scene that requires her to look disheveled and act deranged. He could have posted a normal picture of Lupita, then make his captain pretty police comments all the same.

I didn't make the photo in the OP

As far as the actress goes, remember that all of the photos of her are after she has had makeup applied by pros and been styled by stylists

The girl at the game woke up, put on a little makeup and a sundress, and then tailgated all day in September heat in the south and still looks 1000 times better.

Is it racism to point out that a black chick isn't attractive and is poorly cast in a role she's not suited for? Explain to us how that's racist.

Still melting about the casting in a movie is on brand for you softies


There's only so many times you can watch historical and classical white characters being race-swapped before you realize it's an attempt to diminish a culture. Well, if you're smart, anyways.

Refusing to watch your culture be eliminated isn't being soft. Standing by while it happens is, though. And virtue signaling while it happens just makes you soft and stupid.

Weird comment. Who would accuse you of making the photo?

And that's not a little makeup.

Yeah... Christopher Nolan is secretly trying to replace white people because some woman spent 90 seconds acting in a minor role in the movie while the rest of it was completely dominated by white actors

Such a brilliant conspiracy. Not sure how it eluded me.

Did you watch and enjoy that adaptation of a trans character and a black Helen of Troy ?

The DEI requirements you’re referring to are the Academy’s Representation and Inclusion Standards for Oscars Eligibility (RAISE).

Beginning with the 2024 Oscars, a film must meet at least two of four inclusion standards to qualify for Best Picture. These requirements apply specifically to Best Picture eligibility, not individual categories such as Best Actor or Best Director.

Standard A: On-Screen Representation

A film can qualify by meeting at least one of the following:

A lead or significant supporting actor is from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group.
At least 30% of secondary/minor roles are from at least two underrepresented groups, including women, LGBTQ+ people, racial or ethnic minorities, or people with disabilities.
The main storyline or subject matter focuses on an underrepresented group.

Standard B: Creative Leadership and Crew

A film can qualify through representation behind the camera, such as:

At least two department heads or creative leaders are from underrepresented groups, with at least one from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group.
At least six crew members in certain technical positions are from underrepresented racial or ethnic groups.
At least 30% of the overall crew is from underrepresented groups.

Standard C: Industry Access and Opportunities

The studio, distributor, or financing company must provide:

Paid internships or apprenticeships for people from underrepresented groups.
Training and career-development opportunities for underrepresented workers.

Standard D: Audience Development

The studio or distributor must have meaningful representation from underrepresented groups among senior marketing, publicity, or distribution staff.

A movie does not have to satisfy all of these requirements. It only needs to meet two of the four standards to remain eligible for Best Picture.




He has to do it and he had to cast that troon Ellen Page too

I am stunned that anyone watching the LSU game, who saw the Old Miss chick (and I saw her too) would immediately jump mentally to anger about "DEI" and the casting of a black woman in a movie made how many years ago? Who looks at an attractive woman and all they can think to say is how much they hate that a black woman was cast in a movie role?

That is some demented thinking.

Evidence on the screen


Maybe he chose all four

Maybe the studio forced him

Either way, there was really no other reason for him to cast Ellen Page as a warrior, much less the most unattractive HoT in the history of entertainment
