Academy Awards have been a joke for about a decade now, succumbing to pressure from various groups, and acting like a prostitute, but the recent 'diversity rules' for films to 'qualify' to even be nominated for Best Picture starting from 2024 produced titles for a 2025 ceremony, utterly destroy any relevancy, and make such actors as Richard Dreyfus 'wanna puke'.
So films like 12 Angry Men wouldn't be nominated, war movies such as Patton wouldn't win, and what do historical pictures need to do, make Cleopatra black... oh, wait...
It's like in that popular anecdote, that in order to win an Oscar, one should play a retarded, crippled gay victim, made to a rule.
The requirements include having at least one lead character in the movie be from an “an underrepresented racial or ethnic group”, having at least 30% of the general ensemble cast be from at least two underrepresented groups (women, ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ people or people with disabilities), or having the movie’s subject focus on one of those groups.
