Richard Dreyfuss denounces Oscars diversity rules.
TL;DR Summary
Oscar-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss criticized the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for its diversity measures, calling them "vomit-inducing." The academy announced in 2020 that it would increase representation and inclusion among Oscar nominees, with eligible films needing to meet several criteria concerning diversity on screen and behind the camera. Dreyfuss argued that the efforts defeat the art of acting and filmmaking and imply that "we're so fragile that we can't have our feelings hurt." The Oscars have seen gradual change among its honorees, but Black performers were shut out entirely from the acting categories at this year's ceremony.
