Reshaping Hollywood elites and woke movies, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences finally mandated that Oscar voters must watch all nominated films before voting.
Until now, these self-appointed cultural arbiters have been handing out prestigious awards without even watching the movies they are judging.
This raises serious questions about the legitimacy of past winners and the woke agenda that may have influenced them.
The Academy announced this stunning policy change, revealing that members will now be required to watch all nominated films in each category to be eligible to vote in the final round of Oscar voting.
For decades, voters were merely “encouraged” to watch the nominees, a laughably loose standard that undermines the credibility of what was once America’s premier entertainment award.
This revelation confirms what many conservative critics have long suspected: Hollywood’s elite have been awarding their golden statues based on political messaging and insider connections rather than actual film quality.
The timing of this rule change raises questions about whether past controversial wins for movies pushing progressive agendas might have been awarded by members who never even bothered to watch the competing films.
The Academy’s new regulations also address AI usage in filmmaking, stating it will “neither help nor harm the chances of a nomination.”
Yet, they added a concerning caveat that human creative control would be a factor in judging, opening the door to subjective enforcement that could be wielded against content creators who do not align with Hollywood’s prevailing worldview.
Furthermore, changes to the international film category rules now allow filmmakers with refugee or asylum status to be represented by countries other than their own.
While this appears designed to include diverse voices, it also creates potential loopholes for films pushing globalist narratives to gain more prominence at the expense of traditional storytelling.
The Academy has conspicuously failed to explain how it will enforce this new watching requirement.
Their silence on implementation details suggests this may be more about improving its tarnished image than actually ensuring merit-based voting.
Many were shocked upon learning that Oscar voters were not required to watch the films.
“Insane this wasn’t already a rule,” noted one commenter.
Over the years, conservative viewers have watched as the Academy Awards increasingly celebrated films that push divisive social agendas while snubbing movies that reflect traditional American values.
This admission that voters were not even watching the nominees explains how such a disconnect from mainstream American tastes could persist.
The next Academy Awards ceremony is scheduled for March 15, 2026, with Conan O’Brien hosting.
It remains to be seen whether these new rules will actually restore integrity to the process or serve as window dressing for an institution that has lost touch with American values.
What is clear is that Hollywood’s elite have been operating without the basic standards of fairness that everyday Americans expect from their institutions.
