Hoogste prijzen voor films worden afgeschaft en ingeruild voor diversiteitstokens

Vanaf 2022 moeten gegadigden voor Oscarnominaties voor Beste Film eerst Academy Inclusion Standards-formulieren invullen. Vanaf 2024 moeten kanshebbers aan minimaal 2 van de 4 normen voldoen (volledige regels na de breek). De films moeten bijvoorbeeld een minimaal aantal afwijkende huidskleuren hebben, een bepaald aantal vrouwen of zelfs een verhaallijn die over “een ondervertegenwoordigde groep” gaat. Nou waren de Oscars al jaren een onuitstaanbaar woke-festival vanwege al die door Weinstein bepotelde Hollywoodmiljonairs die naar beneden kotsten op hun kijkerspubliek alsof alle normale mensen melaatse racisten & vrouwenhaters zijn, maar nu worden er dus ook nog rassenwetten voor de kunst ingevoerd door de Oscarbaasjes. Alweer een “Academy” die full woke gaat dus, en bij voorheen iconisch showbiz/wijvenblaadje Variety schrijven ze de nieuwe rassenregels op alsof het de normaalste zaak van de wereld is dat gender, afkomst of identiteit boven talent, inspanning en prestatie van het individu gaan worden gesteld. Onze voorspelling: vanaf 2022 alleen nog verliezers bij de Oscars.
