lol these guidelines are ridiculous:
  • At least one actor from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group must be cast in a significant role.
  • The story must center on women, L.G.T.B.Q. people, a racial or ethnic group or the disabled.
  • At least 30 percent of the cast must be actors from at least two of those four underrepresented categories.

These guidelines are dumb, they will just lead to people of color being shoehorned into more period pieces they have no business being in, making the film less believable (i.e. the new beauty and the beast and Mary poppins).

They have to fit into 2 of the 4 or 5 categories. So essentially a movie can be nominated for BP if they have, for example, someone from a minority group in marketing and someone from a minority group doing makeup. Basically if you don't fit the criteria for any of these groups then you're essentially only hiring white men throughout the chain of these huge productions.

This is easily solved by making the period pieces actually take place in non-Western countries but Hollywood doesn't want to do those.

OP specifies actors, not make-up and marketing.

It's actually easy to subvert, some non-Hispanic whites have passed as Hispanic so they can fill that there

That's why it's a misrepresentation of the guidelines. You can have an all white cast and still get nominated. This is just faux outrage.

Aren't the guidelines just fake virtue signalling type shit. Most films probably already meet the guidelines

No, that's not how these guidelines work.

Fucking lol

What part of a cursed prince turned into a literal beast or a magic flying nanny are realistic again? If those are totally believeable but a slightly different reality where poc have more rights isn't, your worldview is wonky.
