VOX: Do the Oscars’ new rules mean no more movies about white people?
The Academy has announced changes to the Best Picture category, aimed at the lofty goal of making Hollywood more diverse.
The Academy Award’s new rules have received some pushback today from some in Hollywood, including Kirstie Alley who initially called the new policy “a disgrace.”
I deleted my first tweet about the new rules for best movie OSCARS because I feel it was a poor analogy & misrepresented my viewpoint. I am 100% behind diversity inclusion & tolerance. I’m opposed to MANDATED ARBITRARY percentages relating to hiring human beings in any business.
