Gay! Gay!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Academy passed its curiously named Aperture 2025 initiative in 2020, to promote more diversity in the industry, but the move has been under fire ever since. Led by black filmmaker Ava DuVernay (no, we don\u2019t know who that is either), the effort developed criteria about \u201cdiversifying\u201d nearly every aspect of a movie \u2013 from cast and crew to production, marketing, financing, distribution, and even internships \u2013 by 30 percent, however, that might be quantified.<\/p>\n<p>The standard would actually have disqualified last year\u2019s Best Picture winner, Nomadland, from getting an Oscar because the actors were all white even if the director was Asian filmmaker Chlo\u00e9 Zhao.<\/p>\n<p>The trap would also have ensnared several of this year\u2019s nominees. Power of the Dog, Belfast, and Licorice Pizza were in jeopardy of missing out on the honors.<\/p>\n<p>An industry insider (who preferred to remain anonymous out of fear of losing work) told LA Magazine that the policies set to take effect in 2024 are too far-reaching. \u201cIt\u2019s filmmaking by affirmative action,\u201d the insider said. \u201cIt\u2019s totally daft, and it can\u2019t be done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many in Hollywood seem to agree that the change is a long time coming (who would dare to say otherwise), but some concede it may be too late to save the Oscars telecast, which drew its smallest audience ever last year and this year resorted to the slapping incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once about celebrating great films, great acting and the art of moviemaking, the Oscars are now veering into nothing more than a boring contest of political correctness that needs staged-looking \u201cviolence\u201d between black celebrities to scrape up some media chatter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1404939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1404939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1404939"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1404939\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1404939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1404939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1404939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
