Why is it that so called ‘creatives’ always feel the need to get together, pat themselves on the backs and tell the world how special they are? Possible low self esteem? You don’t see awards ceremonies for plumbers, factory workers or garbage men and I would say that each of those groups do more to benefit society than any of the people that play pretend for a living. It’s not bad enough that they’re obsessed with themselves, but they also believe that their ability to act somehow gives them the right to lecture the rest of us about politics and social issues. Can’t they just shut up, take their awards and be done with it?

The there’s the foolishness, like ‘And the Oscar goes to …’. It used to be when someone won and Oscar it would be announced with the phrase, ‘And the winner is…’ but that wasn’t good enough. Even though someone had ‘won’ an Oscar, it was decided that saying that they were ‘winners’ was somehow too offensive and competitive and it had to be toned down and changed to ‘And the Oscar goes to …’. What a bunch of overly sensitive losers.

The final straw for me was when they instituted diversity requirements for Oscar eligibility. If your movie doesn’t meet their standards for representation and inclusion it can’t win an award. It doesn’t matter if you’ve produced the best movie ever made; unless your production includes one from column A and one from column B you’re out of luck. Liberal fools!

They have four standards that films must meet to qualify for an award:
– On-screen representation, themes and narratives
– Creative leadership and project team
– Industry access and opportunities
– Audience development

I won’t go into the details of all of the above foolishness, but it’s about what you would expect from liberal out of touch fools.

Here’s an example from their website…

At least one of the lead actors or significant supporting actors submitted for Oscar consideration is from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group in a specific country or territory of production.

This may include:

• African American / Black / African and/or Caribbean descent
• East Asian (including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Mongolian)
• Hispanic or Latina/e/o/x
• Indigenous Peoples (including Native American / Alaskan Native)
• Middle Eastern / North African
• Pacific Islander
• South Asian (including Bangladeshi, Bhutanese, Indian, Nepali, Pakistani, and Sri Lankan)
• Southeast Asian (including Burmese, Cambodian, Filipino, Hmong, Indonesian, Laotian, Malaysian, Mien, Singaporean, Thai, and Vietnamese)

How freaking obnoxious, not only do they dictate diversity, but they tell you exactly which type of people you need to hire.

Then there’s this gem:

At least 30% of all actors not submitted for Oscar consideration are from at least two underrepresented groups which may include:

• Women
• Racial or ethnic group
• LGBTQ+
• People with cognitive or physical disabilities, or who are deaf or hard of hearing

How Orwellian that the Academy believes that it can dictate to artists what their art needs to include. You would think there would be some push back on this, but no, the liberal sheep fall right in line.

My hope is that the future will be brighter. I suspect that in the not too distant future all of this will end. AI and modern technology is giving the average person the ability to produce films that currently would require hundreds of people and millions of dollars to make. The barriers to entry in the entertainment industry are falling and soon people will be able to produce movies that they want to watch instead of being force fed movies and propaganda produced by out of touch, liberal fools. I can’t wait.
