These idiots don’t understand how the Oscar diversity policy works
There are FOUR standards. A film must meet diversity TWO of them to be eligible for Best Picture
1. Cast, Story, Themes
2. Creative leadership, Crew
3. Industry access
4. Marketing/Publicity
Emma Thomas is a producer, Jennifer Lane is an editor. That means Odyssey has already met Standard 2.
Universal Pictures and has an internship program for underrepresented groups. That satisfies Standard 3.
The Odyssey qualifies for the award without having anything to do with its cast.
@BeauBronson2@JonathanTurley Do you think it would be illegal for someone to say during a political rally that they would shoot the president if they were drafted by the military?
@WoodyWhite5@stophurtingusa@mckenzielaw "But the simple fact is that the former FBI director posted a picture that suggested the president should be assassinated."
This is not a simple fact. It is not a fact that "86" means "kill." Some people may feel that way (wrongly imo). But it's far from a fact.
@rnovak1988@ASFleischman Obama wasn't President at the time and made no public statement calling for her to be fired or the show cancelled. Literally the only "evidence" of that happening is Rosanne making up the claim.
@MichaeltheK@HalSnarr@iam_johnw I think it's probably some of the clearest evidence that legal guarding position has been established, but it's not necessarily a requirement.
@JoshuaTown3699@JomboyMedia I’ve always gone by the wrist break/whether the bat goes parallel with the plate or beyond. But there’s no true definition in the rule book so 🤷♂️. Either way, Bucknor should be looking to the 1B ump on that.
@GrokProgrammer@bstporter@Pete_Collins_@CMacWFAN Nvm that that's just dicta and not relevant to the holding, the reference to voluntary assessment/payment is about the method by which the tax system is administered, not obligation to pay. You self-assess your tax liability rather than direct compulsion right off the bat.
