Meanwhile, who still bothers to darken the door of a movie theatre to begin with?

How many whites win the NAACP awards or the black image awards and I could go on and on.

Oddly enough, TCM had Chariots of Fire on just this past Sunday evening. I wonder how that movie would do under the new criteria, as Dodi Fayed was one of the producers and a gay man (Ian Charleson) was one of the starring actors? Or would it be flat out rejected for not being diverse enough in it’s crew?

This is a problem with secret ballot voting. Too much meritocracy.

It's why liberals don't like it. They want people to be held accountable and have to answer for the way they voted.

As seen through the lens of the color of skin. Imagine if they saw through the lens of the Bible.

When Megan Markle was making $50,000 per episode you know acting is not a special gift.

Why bother trying? There is nothing that is going to please the professional complainers.

The thing with “wokeness” is there are no permanent rules or standards. Even if you were to meet all the current “rules” they change them or move the goal post. The truth is every member of the Woke Cult gets to decide what words mean and get to decide if you said something offensive to them as individual and if you did, well as the red queen said “off with their head”.

It is a no win situation to even try.

See how fast they turned on Don Lemon.

So maybe the only qualified or popular results were by or with White people?

Could it be that the whites were simply more talented and skilled performers (and perhaps even more personable) than the blacks?

I was surprised when I watched “All Quiet on the Western Front” that there wasn’t the requisite gay storyline and prominent black characters. Surprised anything could be made these days without those two “crucial” elements.

The latest HBO series - “The Last of Us” sure has both, “in spades.”

“according to the 2021 Census, the total population of England and Wales was 59.6 million, and 81.7% of the population was white

people from Asian ethnic groups made up the second largest percentage of the population (9.3%), followed by black (4.0%), mixed (2.9%) and other (2.1%) ethnic groups”

Germans won the big prize for All Quiet on the Western Front, and Cate Blanchett is from another planet, so that's a lot of diversity right there ...

Some time ago, this was a charge against the Oscars. The next year, all kinds of black actors got Oscars, whether they deserved them or not.

I gave up on the Brits when they did a show about Anne Boelyn and the actress playing her was black -- as was the actor playing Henry VIII. These people were historical figures who have oil paintings of them in museums -- they were NOT black.
