New Academy Awards Rules Exclude Movies That Aren’t “Woke” Enough!

The Academy Awards are adopting a new set of diversity rules that will dictate whether future films will be eligible for the Best Picture Oscar. Starting with the March 2024 awards, movies will not be considered for a Best Picture nomination unless they meet two out of four standards — those standards include featuring a lead or significant supporting character from an “underrepresented racial or ethnic group,” having a main storyline that focuses on an underrepresented group, or at that least 30% of the cast comes from two or more underrepresented groups (women, ethnic minorities, LGBTQ or the disabled). Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the pushback against the new rules from many in the show biz community and whether this effort is an effective method for increasing diversity in Hollywood.
