If you were curious why a certain documentary from Daily Wire's Matt Walsh was nowhere to be seen despite at last night's Oscars outperforming the winning documentary by 25x at the box office... we've got answers.
Although the 2025 Oscars were tepid in their TDS, issues from the era of DEI still remained a strong force in the background. A requirement for diversity across a broad spectrum of creative and technical rubrics meant that many movies and documentaries that Americans loved were simply "unfit" for Hollywood's biggest night. Americans, of course, give the ultimate award with money and viewership.

Starting with the 96th Academy Awards in 2024, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences implemented new representation and inclusion standards for films to be eligible for the Best Picture category. These standards, part of the Academy Aperture 2025 initiative, require films to meet at least two out of four criteria.

That means that they know the conservative movies are better and don’t want them winning awards.
Think about it: when someone wants to block other people from competing, it’s because they possess a great advantage, like steroids.
Conservative movies are so good it’s cheating.
I hate how litigious this country is. “Likely illegal” is a necessary CYA move in journalism, same with saying “alleged” when reporting even on a criminal caught in the act. We know they used illegal criteria because the woke truly believe they’re above the law. Despite ABC settling over George Snuffleupagus and reining in The View hosts, despite MSNBC firing Joyless Reid because she was a money sink and a dangerous legal liability, and despite Paramount and CBS both being named and only now in mediation to settle a $20 billion defamation suit by Trump.
A part of me actually looks forward to next year’s Oscars. Not because I like them, but because the woke house of cards is collapsing and Hollywoke in particular is going to have to accept reality or die.
They’ve been doing that for decades. Hollywood is full of commies.
My dad was a member of the Academy up until his death (many years ago). He knew it was an unfair system, even back then, but if he was still alive, he would be just sick and angry at the level to which it has deteriorated.
We do not even fight people we disagree with. We are fighting evil that demands to be called good, right, positive.
This year should be the year everyone remembers as the year that Hollywood Jews showed their nepotism for everyone to plainly see. When well over half of your winners are Jewish, it certainly doesn’t dispel the old trope that Jews run Hollywood.
I think Hollywood is in serious trouble. I kept hearing Bob Hope yesterday “Thanks for the memories” They’ve lost touch with real America. When did being anti American become so stylish? I missed something somewhere.
Cant say negative things about their cult, oh I am sorry, lGb community.
Cannot ask uncomfortable question about their gang, oh I am sorry, lgbq community
Thought crime is next. “Why are you looking at me this way? Police! Police he thought
bad stuff about me because I am body positive and binarian.”
My most shameful opinion about these individuals was that
we can disagree as long as we respect each other.
Can’t.
