I will continue to not watch the Academy Awards after it was announced this week that inclusion, rather than artistic merit, would determine whether a movie could be considered for Best Picture.
A movie that does not use the requisite number of women, LGBT or non-white people –- no matter how brilliant –- will be ruled ineligible for Best Picture under new rules to apply from 2024.
So the Oscar for Best Picture will not go to the best film but to the best woke.
