I don't really care for movies (especially the woke SJW junk they've been spewing out the past few years) but Oscars release new criteria:

https://www.oscars.org/news/academy-esta...ligibility

1. at least one lead actor must be Person of color
OR
2. at least 30% of all actors must be women/person of color/LGBTQAI+/people w/ physical disabilities
OR
3. Main storyline must be centered on women/person of color/LGBTQAI+/people w/ physical disabilities

Also criteria for marketing & production too

I'm happy people w/ physical disabilities are being included in these now, so there's that.

I mostly watch old movies these days

I wonder how long it will be before Hollywood turns on the Oscars.....

I retired last April.
With everything being shutdown I just finished Netflix Season 1.

I’m waiting for Season 2 now.

I'm grateful that a person whom I have no respect whatsoever, Ted Turner, we watch his movies almost every day, with a short nap in between, at lunch. I don't like the guy...at all but if he's game to show us old movies I'm game to watch them. I guess I could thank him for that...thank you Teddy.

But, you need new movies, I've seen most of them twice already. LOL

Old movies or nothing

What’s funny to me is that most films already meet two of the four criteria. Just not films they nominate. I mean, are LGBTQRS really underrepresented in Hollywood? So they are really just making themselves look bigoted.

Most of the movies that make money don't win best picture---so, this will have little effect on the movies 90% of the audience buys tickets to. The Oscars and the box office arent dont have a lot of crossover. There are obviously some exceptions--but for the most part (especially in recent history), your big money box office blockbusters arent winning "Best Movie" Oscars.

And Tom Cruise does his own stunts. I heard for his latest he flew the F-18 solo.

I had to read this three times - I was looking for a Babylon Bee or Onion logo somewhere.........

Nothing says fair and equal like quotas!

I have YouTube TV which has some nice On Demand Shows via the cable networks.. I came across one the other day that has sucked me in.. It's on Discovery called "Homestead Rescue"... It's not the same formula every week, well it is.. People living off the grid, the homestead is failing, and they reach out to this family in Alaska who have been doing this all their lives and the family comes in and evaluates the situation and works with them for a number of days and gives them tips on how to survive... The first season is 6 episodes and I just started season 2. It's only at night when we've put the kid down I'll watch an episode or two.

I appreciate the heads up. I have Hulu and Prime to go along with my Netflix. I also use Mobdro and So Player. I’m going to checkout the program you recommended.

I haven't watched the Oscars, Grammys, Tonys, etc...in 25+ years

I can't tell you who won anything. I'm a deplorable.

I’m surprised there has not been a push to rename the Oscars to a more “gender neutral or feminine name.”

Yea me too

I'm about 16 hours away from my Alma Mater.

So nearly any movie based on American history is now exempt from Oscar consideration? Maybe that’s the real goal. Maybe they’ll remake Saving Private Ryan but Rupaul can play Tom Hanks part.
