ART FOR THE SAKE OF ART

As Long As It Is Politically Correct Art

by Bob Walsh

The Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences (The Oscars) has just announced that, effective in 2024, movies will have to meet certain "guidelines" to be considered for awards.

Among them are:  The main characters (Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress) must include at least one person who is not a White male.  The on-screen people must include at least 30% people who are not White male.  Off-screen production personnel must include at least 30% people who are not White male.  The basic story line can not be overly straight white-bread homoginized.  It should be noted that there will be no requirement that the picture actually be worth watching.
