    SJW Oscars Announce New ‘Inclusion’ Standards For Best Picture Revolving Around ‘Underrepresented Groups’

    By Hank Berrien - The Daily Wire




    On Tuesday, the Academy of Motion Picture Art and Sciences announced that for any film to be nominated for Best Picture starting in the year 2024, new standards of inclusion must be met.

    “Those standards require one of the following: at least one of the lead actors or significant supporting actors is from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group; at least 30% of all actors in secondary and more minor roles are from certain underrepresented groups; or the main storyline, theme or narrative is centered on an underrepresented group,” The Los Angeles Times reported, adding:

    To be eligible for best picture, a film must meet at least two standards across four categories: “Onscreen Representation, Themes and Narratives,” “Creative Leadership and Project Team,” “Industry Access and Opportunities” and “Audience Development.” Within each category are a variety of criteria …

    Academy President David Rubin and Chief Executive Dawn Hudson stated, “The aperture must widen to reflect our diverse global population in both the creation of motion pictures and in the audiences who connect with them. The Academy is committed to playing a vital role in helping make this a reality. We believe these inclusion standards will be a catalyst for long-lasting, essential change in our industry.”

    In past years, the only criteria used for Best Picture requirements were to last over 40 minutes and rules about how, where and when it would be shown publicly.

    Under “Onscreen Representation, Themes and Narratives” (Standard A), there are three choices from which to choose, as following:

    According to the Academy, the racial or ethnic groups that are acceptable as ‘underrepresented racial or ethnic groups” include actors that are:

    Asian
    Hispanic/Latinx
    Black/African American
    Indigenous/Native American/Alaskan Native
    Middle Eastern/North African
    Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander

    The 30% of all actors in secondary and more minor roles must come from these groups:

    Women
    Racial or ethnic group
    LGBTQ+
    People with cognitive or physical disabilities, or who are deaf or hard of hearing

    The main storyline/subject matter must revolve around one of these groups:

    Women
    Racial or ethnic group
    LGBTQ+
    People with cognitive or physical disabilities, or who are deaf or hard of hearing

    The other standards have similar perspectives.

    The audience for the Oscars has steadily declined over the last 20 years. Here are the numbers:

    2020: 23.6 million
    2019: 29.6 million
    2018: 26.5 million
    2017: 32.9 million
    2016: 34.4 million
    2015: 37.3 million
    2014: 43.7 million
    2013: 40.3 million
    2012: 39.3 million
    2011: 37.9 million
    2010: 41.3 million
    2009: 36.3 million
    2008: 32.0 million
    2007: 40. 2 million
    2006: 38.9 million
    2005: 42.1 million
    2004: 43.5 million
    2003: 33.0 million
    2002: 41.8 million
    2001: 42.9 million

    In August 2019, during a speech in Pennsylvania, President Trump ripped the Academy Awards and their ratings, stating, “The Academy Awards is on hard times now. You know why? Because they started taking us on. Everyone got tired of it. That used to be second after the Super Bowl, and now all of a sudden it’s just another show, because people got tired of people getting up and making fools of themselves and disrespecting the people in this room and the people that won the election in 2016.”

    If I was a director I would say fuck 'em too. I wouldn't hire specific people just so that my film might have a chance at being nominated for best picture. All you are going to get following these "guidelines" are the films that no one ever watches to begin with. Half the time when they announce the nominees for Best Picture, I haven't heard of at least half of them.
