The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Tuesday that it will require films to meet extensive new “diversity” standards to be eligible to win the Oscar for Best Picture.

A press release for the Academy explained that starting in 2024, films competing for Best Picture will be required to meet at least two of the following four standards (original emphasis):

 

STANDARD A:  ON-SCREEN REPRESENTATION, THEMES AND NARRATIVES

To achieve Standard A, the film must meet ONE of the following criteria:

A1. Lead or significant supporting actors

At least one of the lead actors or significant supporting actors is from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group.

• Asian

• Hispanic/Latinx

• Black/African American

• Indigenous/Native American/Alaskan Native

• Middle Eastern/North African

• Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander

• Other underrepresented race or ethnicity

Social Justice Quotas Shouldn’t Determine Oscar’s Best Picture Nominees

Unfortunately, the current leadership of the Academy doesn’t seem at all interested. Ratings for the Oscars hit an all-time low last year, and with the latest news, that trend is quite likely to continue.

While Hollywood needs no aid, assistance, or encouragement to produce films with anti-American, leftist, and subversive agendas, the new AMPAS Best Picture rules reward them for doing so. While political pressure from social justice warriors and leftist talking points have ostensibly guilted Academy members away from voting for anything pro-American, traditional, or, well, normal for quite a few years now, the new AMPAS rules will make it harder for anything that doesn’t obsequiously fawn over leftist mantras to even be nominated in the first place.

The desired traits are innumerable, so it’s just easier to summarize that the AMPAS wants to see more of everyone who isn’t Caucasian, heterosexual, or male. Across four categories of “standards,” films can earn the good graces of the Academy through the 21st-century cultural Marxist version of intersectional indulgences.
