“Reagan” had little chance of taking an Oscar home this year.
The 2024 film earned withering reviews from critics, a body that leans decidedly to the Left. Some film scribes included the film on their “Worst of 2024” lists. That’s despite snagging an impressive 98 percent “fresh” rating from audiences.
Whatever slim hopes the film had for earning a Best Picture nomination vanished in a DEI snap. The film was ruled ineligible for the top prize because it didn’t meet the Oscars’ new diversity requirements.
The rules in question rose up from the fires of 2020’s BLM protests. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences proposed diversity mandates, which went into effect last year, demanding Best Picture hopefuls check multiple progressive boxes.
Example? A film must have diverse crews or tackle subjects pertaining to marginalized groups. Jews, apparently, don’t qualify.
“Reagan,” apparently, didn’t check enough boxes. And it’s not alone. TheWrap.com reports 116 films released last year didn’t quality for Best Picture consideration.
Not all of those films flunked the diversity test. Some may not have meet other criteria, including:
“…feature films must open in a commercial motion picture theater in at least one of six U.S. metropolitan areas: Los Angeles County; the City of New York; the Bay Area; Chicago, Illinois; Miami, Florida; and Atlanta, Georgia, between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024, and complete a minimum qualifying run of seven consecutive days in the same venue. Feature films must have a running time of more than 40 minutes.”
Others were cast aside like “Reagan.”
Actor Richard Dreyfus is one of the few stars to publicly slam the diversity measures. He said the new rules made him want to vomit.
“Reagan” earned $30 million during its theatrical run despite terrible reviews.
