When shall we start to introduce diversity in NBA and NFL?
Um, they did that decades ago if you remember.
If the Oscar’s were solely based on talent then that analogy would make sense. The entertainment industry however is very political and it’s usually who you know that gets you nominated and or winning.
I’ve been waiting for YEARS for some asian diversity in the NHL! Definitely racial quotas in the NHL.
Yeah I wanna see asians in the NBA asap !
What happen to the skill of the person not just because of colors of skin to do the job
@george drake Dr. Martin Luther King JR is passe now I guess.
Exactly. Take the Lilly Singh late night talk show. She did the same thing and hired POC just for the sake of it and look how crappy her show is.
Cancel Netflix. Make a point!
@Caravan Darkness I’m no help there, as I never had an account for any streaming service.
This is racism.
This is pathetic,how is this not racism lmao whatever happened to merit, nah colour is more important! What a joke.
What are, Oscars? That’s how much I care….
Hollywood is dead and Oscars is not far behind. I don’t plan to watch anything anytime soon coming from that direction. Much better free content on YouTube. Hollywood Oscars RIP. Idiocy is incurable.
Hollywood makes terrible movies now anyway… Go woke get broke.
last year’s Best Picture nominee list would like a word with you
@vaughn amir. . . . Where was Parasite made again? Was it made in Hollywood?
vaughn amir. Couldn’t name one movie from that list…..
More movies not worth watching. How surprising.
The new regulation should be a guarantee not one person involved in the movie was a predator
Just when I thought Hollywood movies couldn’t get more preachy…
Bring back awards based on merit!
Hollywood’s dead anyways
So all the jewish actors got their jobs based on merit then? What a coincidence !!
LOL, who cares? Does anyone still watch these things?
Quinton MacDougall – They’re desperate to try anything, they’re laughable!
I do. It’s been a lifelong dream of mine to win one. Looks like my odds just shot up 10000%. I have mixed feelings though.
Racism of lower expectations and quotas.
Does this mean Ricky Gervais won’t be hosting them ever again?
Those are the Golden Globes. The Academy wouldn’t let Ricky within 5 miles of the Dolby Theatre.
Millionaire celebs giving themselves golden statues.
I remember the days when qualifications and experience said it all.
So, let’s be honest. This is no longer about it being the best picture.
It’s a slight of hand. Don’t focus on all the systemic sexual abuse from Hollywood executives and elites, nono look here at all this diversity. Sad part is it will work on some morons.
No wonder Hollyweird is hemorrhaging so much money. The majority doesn’t want to pay to see the minority put on a pedestal.
Historical films will be destroyed because of this
Is there any other country where this nonsense would be tolerated. Imagine South Korea or India being forced to be more diverse in their movies
fighting so called racism with actual racism, brilliant! cant get more woke than that!
