British “Academy Awards” (BAFTA) Will Deny Consideration of Award To “Non Diverse” Projects

Starting in 2019, if you want to win a BAFTA award, your film must, and I quote,

demonstrate that they have worked to increase the participation of groups that are under-represented in the film industry, such as ethnic minorities, the disabled, women, LGBT, or people from lower socioeconomic groups, in two of the following four areas: on-screen representation, themes and narratives; project leadership and creative practitioners; industry access and opportunities; and opportunities for diversity in audience development.

How much do want to wager that an all gay film, an all black film, an all Muslim film, and all woman film will count as “diverse”?

How can a singular black man win an award? He’s not “diverse.” He’s black.

I’m calling it, Guys and Dolls and Xes.

How about Seven Brides For Seven Sisters?

  1. Now every poor bastard that wins a BAFTA will now have to battle against whispers that the only reason the beat the competition is because they had better diversity then the others. The BAFTA will now descend into irrelevance. Well one less awards show where actors jerk themselves off is probably good.

  2. I have been sick of this liberal shit for years. I don’t go to movies period and I don’t watch tv.
    It’s now a diverse liberal freak show.
    Watch Seinfeld,that’s where I first noticed this crap, anytime they are outside. If two
    white people are talking a black will appear in the background. Every single time.
    I call it, ‘white 2 shot with black in between’
    If they take a walk down the sidewalk black people will come out of the doors they just passed.
    So I assume the show was written by progressive liberals.

  3. @steven – “…starring a caste of black, transgendered, crippled midgets…”

    Not sure if “caste” was a typo or intentional, but if it was the former then it was what you might call, a Freudian slip.

    Caste:
