Can you imagine Obama in this picture?
Why is a very popular movie, about a very popular historical figure, ineligible for a Best Picture Oscar?
See, they’ve got these Diversity requirements–“Diversity, Equity, Inclusion” (has the French Revolution been here lately?). A movie has to hit a certain number of squares on the Diversity Bingo Board in order to be eligible for an Oscar.
This is more asinine than I can say. Like, who cares about plot or character or action–what really matters is the percentage of Cherished Minorities in the cast. “Well, the plot made no sense, the actors stumbled over their lines, even the popcorn was bad–but by cracky, all the scenes included the required number of Minorities!”
There is something very wrong with anyone who thinks that way.
And something wrong with any movies they might make.
