"And the Academy Award for best token minority in order for a movie to get Oscar consideration goes to..." 

 

[Voltaire 4,618]

Sports, movies, and TV, together with the media, academia, big tech and the far left of the Democratic Party are in full battle mode for a hostile takeover of our culture. 
 

I don’t intend to give them a dime. Ad-blocker on (off at FFToday so Mike gets his half penny per click)  pirate everything, watch stuff from 5+ years ago. Fock them.

[FlyinHeadlock 459]

Watch the Boys on Amazon. They don't put up with woke, religion, affirmative action.

[wiffleball 4,688]

All those award shows have been trending that way for a long time, so in weird way, I actually respect that these f****** are actually admitting it.

In related news, they're actually restarting the Golden Girls with of course an all Black cast. They really should call it the cocoa girls. The only thing golden about black people is their teef. 

[lickin_starfish 1,528]

Django and The Dark Tower both changed white men into black. I haven't watched either one and never will. I won't support racism with my consumer dollars.

The Oscars are so stupid and each year they lose more and more viewers. It's just hollywood standing up there patting themselves on the bat and preaching to us about how much better they are than us. I have never ever watched an Oscars and can't imagine the life of people that do.

Wife and I like movies and used to love going to them before corona bankrupted every theater chain in America.  So we would like to at least try to see the top 10 nominees for best picture if possible.  

Wonder if there will be some sort of counter oscars that reward movies for being good movies..and not because they are woke?   Golden Globes maybe?  

[BiffTannen 651]

The more they try to shove this in my face, it makes me hate diversity and people that don't look like me even more.

They aren't even real award anyway.

Remember when businesses used to try to appeal to a people who would either need or want their product? 

Seems these days these days some businesses are shooting for a smaller segment of the population. Doesn't sound like a great long term plan in this case.

I was already getting down on the movie industry for putting out so much garbage, and now this.

[avoiding injuries 1,238]

Are they pretending that they aren’t already putting black people in shows and movies at a higher percentage than the actual breakdown of the population? Add in that every remake is done to replace a leading white character with a black actor or actress. Plus, you have shows that are exclusively black. 
The message has been sent. You can back off now...

There was a local news story about supporting black owned businesses.  They cut to a local woman, making some sort of African themed stuff..Might have been shirts or something... and I told the wife the same thing.  if you are only going to make things that appeal to the small demographic, then you will get small returns.  Stop asking me to support a business that produces nothing I am interested in.  

[porkbutt 873]

never was big movie or tv watcher. covid made me realize i can live without sports too.

 

fock em all. more time for family fishing hunting and doing other sh;t

You aren't inclined to buy your wife some nice jewelry for a birthday present so that she can get yelled at for cultural appropriation?

My lead character will be a queer who hates n@ggers.

I don't know that I've ever watched the Oscars.  That's not the point.  The movies will still want to be eligible.

I never liked the oscars. Ever. It's always been nausiating.

[The Elevator Killer 497]

This is how I think this will play out. After losing again and again to minorities, the big name stars will just stop attending. Ratings are bad now, but imagine when they can't get anyone to attend. The audience will start to look like Madea movie premier. 

To get big celebs to attend they will start letting them know that they are the winner. And people still won't watch. 

[Hardcore troubadour 13,010]

1917, which won oscars last year, would not be nominated under these requirements. Cancel white people or pander. That’s the rule now.

Any historical war related picture would probably be out.  Saving Private Ryan would be out.

[The Elevator Killer 497]

This should help the box office......NOT!

“The 2035 Oscar for best picture goes to Black Panther 17”. 

[DonS 3,097]

Easy solution is to just make the main villain in every movie a minority.  That would meet the requirement of at least one main character being non-white.  Then again they would just cry foul at having the bad guys be a minority.

[TimmySmith 2,782]

Get a tranny in every film.  Covers Women, LGBTQ and Cognitive disabilities with one person.

[The Elevator Killer 497]

I see lots of prison movies being nominated.

[DonS 3,097]

"Simple Jack" would be considered for an Oscar since the storyline is centered around "people with cognitive or physical disabilities".

 

[TimmySmith 2,782]

What does underrepresented mean?  That Hollywood exhibits systemic racism and sexism?
