As Academy’s diversity initiative looms, some wonder if viewers will still be watching: ‘Oscars are dead’

Three years from now, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will begin implementing its Aperture 2025 initiative – a sweeping set of regulations designed to make Hollywood more equitable and diverse. Under the future guidance, last year's best picture winner "Nomadland" would have been barred from contention.
Beginning in 2024, film producers and directors will be required to submit to the Academy a dossier of the sort that points to the race, gender, sexual orientation, and disability status of their film’s cast and crew members.
Not adhering to the stringent guidelines could prove detrimental for a project aspiring to be considered for a best picture nomination since the film could be disqualified from Oscar consideration if it does not employ enough people of color, people with disabilities or people who identify as LGBTQ+.
