"Stars Unite to Demand Jewish Inclusion in Film Academy Diversity Standards"

Over 260 Jewish entertainment figures, including Juliana Margulies, Greg Berlanti, and Mayim Bialik, have signed a letter critiquing the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for excluding Jews from its diversity standards. The letter argues that Jewish people are an underrepresented group and should be included in the Academy's Representation and Inclusion Standards. It also highlights the historical and genetic identity of Jews and the lack of authentic representation in Hollywood, calling for changes to the standards to combat antisemitism and promote authentic storytelling.

Richard Dreyfuss Criticizes Oscars' Diversity Standards and White-Washing in Hollywood

Richard Dreyfuss criticized the Academy Awards' diversity and inclusion standards, calling them "patronizing" and "thoughtless." He argued that no one should be telling him as an artist that he has to give in to the latest idea of morality. The standards require the inclusion of people in underrepresented groups, including women, people from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group, LGBTQ+ people, and people with disabilities. Dreyfuss also questioned whether he would ever have a chance to play a Black man and criticized the lack of white actors portraying Othello on the big screen since Laurence Olivier.
