It's another exciting Friday, and another early look at this weekend's video! I'll just let the description (which I wrote anyway) speak for me here:
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences recently released new "eligibility guidelines" for the Best Picture Oscar, which requires a movie to effectively meet diversity quotas. Buckley looks at just how easy they've made it to pretend to be diverse without actually being diverse, compares it to a Canadian system made for music eligibility, and explains why it won't really change anything.
