I like that Frances McDormand brought up the Inclusion Rider, about time! And people yapping about how it’s all wrong to have more inclusion and it would only mean white people would lose their acting jobs or POC would only get hired based on the color of their skin. How is 50% all of the sudden a 100%? The majority of people getting hired are white because white is decided to make more bank, that’s not getting hired based on merit, but simply because the bosses at the movie studios/ tv networks for too long decided white actors will give them a bigger profit. Look at the leading movies right now, breaking financial record after financial record! Bullsh*t statement to conclude POC would only get hired based on ethnicity background when plenty of POC have been trained at Ivy League universities and so many are very talanted, but they still lose out on parts due too being considered ”too ethnic” or the film/tv show already filled their diversity bucket, meaning the usual 95% white and 5% POC ratio in a project. No one should lose out on a job based on the color of their skin, and if you can’t see that then you’re the issue not those whom hire POC and the POC who audition for parts. Just look at which movies Hollywood market and push for the most, compare that to the movies being the most successful right now. For example take Girls’ Trip with Tiffany Haddish and Jada Pinkett-Smith for, their movie got very little promotion money compared to Rough Night with Scarlett Johansson and Kate McKinnon, but the audience still chose Girls’ Trip over Rough Night. People crave new stories to be told and they crave to see a bigger variety of faces on the screen, and the movies and tv shows making bank at the moment truly shows that. I can’t see the issue (because there is none), with letting more POC join in especially not when the entire film history and award seasons look awfully d*mn white. No one is saying don’t hire white people, it’s only expressed let’s not basically *only* hire white people. It shouldn’t be that difficult to follow such a simple narrative. It’s an uneasy feeling to go to the movies with friends when me and a few others are the ONLY one in the group seeing ourselves being represented, that’s totally sideways, so just imagine not seeing yourself represented for decades, it wouldn’t sit very well with you, now would it?!! How is it so extremly difficult for some to look beyond themselves? Why is it considered to be such a threatening thing to open up the spectrum of whom gets hired? If you can’t handle it then don’t go to the movies, it’s as simple as that, no one will miss sharing the room with you racists anyway. Because that’s what you people are, even if you try to wrap it in different transparent explanations as to why nothing needs to change, why the movies need to continue to consist of white people in the majority of the roles. Seriously what happened, what made you this cruel to spew such vile hatred against anyone based on not their actions but on their skin color?! It’s f*cking crazy!

WHO can demand? Producers? Directors? Shouldn't cast/crew assignments be based on skill/merit?

Here we see the campaign to implement the new oscars inclusion requirements gaining momentum. We are witnessing an interesting twist. The oscars are putting pressure on the film industry to get it to comply with certain woldview. They are basically telling people which stories the have to tell if they don't want to be ostracized. I am looking forward to see how it turns. So far most actors seem to agree that it this is a good thing. I disagree. Actually it seems to me this is a form of self censorship, which is the most efficient form of censorship.

Something I'm wondering about , she mentioned casting being part of the inclusion rider. It's hard to imagine how they could accomplish this is the setting is in a place and time where there was a lack of a certain demographic. For example a film about the nazi's having 50 black officers? A film about the black panthers where 50% of the cast is caucasian ? Does anyone know how that would work?

Oakley Sierney Obviously when it comes to movies where racial disparities would need to be portrayed accurately a request like that would be overridden.

@@corn8591 _"when it comes to movies where racial disparities would need to be portrayed accurately"_ There's a lot packed into that little phrase. Just how do you decide that exactly? It's a contemporary trend in the arts community that many productions especially in plays and live theater, where specific roles that have been traditionally played by white males only now have been cast with broader more inclusive demographics. And a lot of these productions are very well received even if the non traditional casting choice raises a few eyebrows at first and some old school people are unhappy about it. I'm sure you can think of some examples of the type of thing that I"m talking about. So what does _"would need to be portrayed accurately"_ even mean these days? Where do you draw that line?

Oakley Sierney Well making a role that has traditionally been played by white male actors despite the gender being of little importance to the art or actual overall message of the piece is very different than the original example that you gave. I don’t believe that the line is that difficult to clearly define. When the mere existence of an individual from a marginalized group does not transform the significance of the piece and the story that it is trying to tell into something completely different, then there is no problem with that added bit of diversity in the piece. Whereas in a production like the one that you mentioned earlier, adding diversity to a carefully curated cast that was picked with regard to the historical accuracy of both the racial and gender significance of the actors in mind would change the film entirely.

@oakleysierney1918

skinny&sad That's a very well thought out and cogent answer , thanks. However I think there will still be fuzzy boundaries, even when we are looking for clearly defined lines. Ok, let's go with the example I gave of the Nazi soldiers. Consider what if the plot was primarily a love story involving soldier in a war setting and there just happened to be an African American actor who, race aside, would be really great for the part and yet in the story he was on the German side. In this example it was the writer's intent for the actor's race to have no in character significance. We are expected as a viewer to put aside the actors literal race and instead see the character as white. Is this a fair expectation? I"m going to go out on a limb and say based on your previous posts I think you will say yes, it is a fair expectation because since the story is a love story race is not so important. But, and here's the big catch, in the vast majority of plots there is a mixture of romance and and some other elements as well. This 'love story' also touched on the horrors of the war and the German war apparatus and some politics. So what is its 'overall message". Is there even an overall message? Would it then become a question of just how much emphasis of each element the plot is based on? That's something that's subjective and not easy to quantify and even if it was, for example if it was clearly 50% love story and 50% of the other, that still doesn't tell us directly the answer. So yes I believe your reasoning is very sound, but I also am sure there will always be cases that are difficult to classify.

That's how it's pronounced by some people from that area of the country.

As a person of middle eastern decent, I do not like the concept of "inclusion rider" - even if it would work in my favour. Unless a script specifies a specific gender, age or race, the part should be awarded to the best auditionee instead of trying to meet a 50% diversity quota. Similarly, the crew members should be hired based on their merits and experience, not based on gender, age or race. I know I would be type cast based on my appearance, but until the day comes where a middle eastern is more marketable to a global audience than a white actor, I can simply accept the fact that the film industry is first and foremost a multi billion dollar business - it's not supposed to be fair.

In some cases in Hollywood an inclusion rider is needed due to the fact that the best auditioned individuals aren’t getting the parts. It’s very rare when a studio chooses what’s the best verses the most bankable individuals. This is why we see the same faces. Studios go for bankability. Inclusion riders would force studios to go after individuals whom really are the best verses the status quo. This includes crew members as well.

@rubyjames3105

crew members should be hired on the merit of their skills but that is not happening. often those decisions are based on peoples attitudes regarding what someone has in their pants. a rider is an attempt to be egalitarian, hopefully it will improve the system which where I live, is constructed by old white guys with money.

As someone that is working on a 12 episode script for television, this news makes my passion for the media field die inside. What this is telling me is that studios will be filling quotas on not the talents that deserve the rolls but hacks or lesser talent based on skin tone and gender or sexuality) This is scary times we live in!

How can that 194 reporter barely speak proper english and still be sent as a correspondent to the US? Really? China?

Mmm, this is a lot like progressive stacking, which is generally regarded as a terrible idea. A much better solution would be to write good roles for minorities (like Black Panther). Or better yet, Hollywood drops their whole fixation with race and starts simply casting roles based on who works, regardless of what they look like.

love her

I have to say that the Chinese reporter's question is meaningless, she'd just wasted a good chance to ask something really matters. Me as a Chinese audience, I really don't think an actress has to say something special to us, or to any other country's audience, we all know it's a good movie, and we don't need sonmeone asking the movie maker for some redundant propaganda words or explanation to understand it.

So in short people who can't win by their own merits need help based on what they are according to some political panel. That is a very Sexist, very Racist and very pathetic thing to call for. Totally Pathetic.

The whole point of the inclusion rider is to get rid of the status quo! Unfortunately, studios hire the most bankable stars and the cheapest/easiest/fastest crew members. In Hollywood, this means actually skipping over the best auditions and the best crew members in their field simply because the actors aren’t bankable or the crew member costs too much through pay or insurance. This is why you tend to see the same faces over and over again or often hear of the studios consistently use the same crew members. More often than not, there are better options out there of deserving individuals to do the best work (ie acting, grips, runners, set design, etc.) but they simply aren’t getting the parts because studios are too greedy.

What tends to happen in production is that people hire their friends. If people's friend group is not diverse, then the jobs go to people who are less qualified, but who know the producer/director.
