"Elon Musk's Influence in Hollywood Sparks Legal Battles"

Elon Musk claimed to have received Disney's inclusion standards from an "anonymous source," only to be reminded by a Hollywood Reporter journalist that they had published the documents four years ago. Musk criticized the standards as "mandatory institutionalized racism and sexism," offering to cover legal costs for employees who feel discriminated against. This follows his funding of Gina Carano's lawsuit against Disney, as well as a public spat with Disney CEO Bob Iger.

Richard Dreyfuss Criticizes Oscars' Inclusion Standards and Advocates for Color-Blind Casting.

Richard Dreyfuss criticized the Academy Awards' new inclusion standards for Best Picture nominees, calling them "patronizing" and saying they make him "vomit." He argued that art should not be subject to the latest ideas of morality and that no one should be telling artists what to do. Dreyfuss also praised Laurence Olivier's performance in blackface in the 1965 film adaptation of Othello and questioned whether he would be allowed to play a Black man. The new standards will be implemented for the first time in the 2024 Oscars campaign.
