Joker leads the Bafta film nominations with 11, but there is criticism that the acting categories are all white.

Yeah complaints from the real racists, it shouldn't be about colour but the racist accusers always make it so...

Got to blame Elton John and the people who wrote the Joker film for this mess.

They should put only non white people up for all the nominations.
Make them completely worthless, and an embarrassment.

If you allow a large group of independent people make the nominations without oversight from a pc equalities committee what do you expect? The media luvvies are fainting with embarrassment. Just like asking football fans for a list of the top 10 Prem league managers and finding out that they have not chosen the chosen one.

Surely these nominations should comprise of the best candidates (in the collected opinion of the judges) without any favouritism given to colour or gender whatsoever?

Failing to adhere purely to a meritocracy in these matters would be abhorrent discrimination.

I personally thought the joker was c*** to be honest

Phoenix did a great job of portraying the weird loner very well, but society will never embrace those individuals, you wont see a bloke like that in a nightclub because he just doesn't belong/fit in, they wont accept him but ridicule him ffs. Its all well and good jumping on a bandwagon on social media but the proof is in the actions and as a collective people wont accept him which is sad but the truth. So it makes the film kinda redundant in its message.

"weird loners" will forever be cast aside and mocked, until it benefits someone's argument/agenda and only then will they be used as a political hammer.

What the film people are up against, is if they practice positive discrimination such as employed by the BBC for instance, their profits would fall because people wouldn't watch their films.

This isn't an issue with the BBC because they are funded through enforcement of the licence fee, so it doesn't matter if anyone watches their programmes or not.
Which is an absolute disgrace in a democracy.

they are going to ram it until they own it and up the mobos - now there is a proper diverse awards set up

Dr Crippen has nailed it. Re-educating the world means short to medium term profits slide, at best.

I started to watch Doctor Who the other day, but it didn't take long for me to switch to watching something else because I didn't like the actors on Doctor Who for a start.

Now if that happened on a wide scale to a commercial station they'd be in big trouble.

We will soon be at the event horizon of inclusivity
Where for e.g. boardrooms are made up of people who are 'best in class'

If there are 10 in the board room, 5 have to be men and 5 have to be women.
Within the 5 of each gender 1 has to be disabled, 2 have to be non white, one gay and the last one has to have been born the opposite gender and switched sides.

Doctor Who is unwatchable dr

And has been since about 2012

And the best part about that is boardrooms no longer run your companies, the stock market/spreadsheets do

The same filthy rats run the companies, but now they can push this agenda down peoples throats with pretendee boardrooms

Steven King in trouble for saying he would always judge art on quality and not diversity.

These people will not stop or ever admit their wrong

I thought I'd watch a bit of Doctor Who with the new master and its just so painful I couldn't watch even 5 minutes, they've butchered a show that had wit and charm, within 3 minutes there was some virtue signalling and the acting is awful and wooden.

Everything they touch turns to utter dog vomit and they don't know how awful it is, to them they are producing master pieces

I don't think it's nearly that bad. Most people don't give a sh1t about such things, it's just the media and Twitter-types who are obsessed. The world is full of people who don't give a sh1t about Twitter and don't think twice about all this inclusivity rubbish. Switch off the news and the Twitter for a bit and you'll feel better.
