Legendary horror author Stephen King says in a Monday op-ed for The Washington Post that the recently announced Academy Award nominations are proof the institution is “rigged in favor of the white folks.”
Earlier this month, King was the subject of controversy over a tweet where he said he "would never consider diversity in matters of art. Only quality" in response to criticism of this year's overwhelmingly white honorees.
“I also said, in essence, that those judging creative excellence should be blind to questions of race, gender or sexual orientation. I did not say that was the case today, because nothing could be further from the truth,” King wrote in the Monday opinion piece.
“Has there been progress in the film community? Yes, some. I’m old enough to remember when there were only a handful of African American directors and about the only female director in Hollywood was Ida Lupino, who made hard-edged noir B pictures in the 1950s and later worked in television. Her directing work was never nominated for an Oscar or an Emmy,” King writes.
King points to the demographic breakdown of the Academy’s voting members as a potential explanation for why some actors and filmmakers were overlooked in major categories.
The voting members this year, he notes, were only 32 percent women and 16 percent minorities. “Not good enough. Not even within shouting distance of good enough,” King wrote.
Using his own work as an example, King says he was indifferent to the casting of Idris Elba as the Gunslinger from his Dark Tower series, saying, "I didn’t care what the character’s skin color was, as long as he could draw fast and shoot straight."

All boomers were inclined to be retards, but now they're all trying too hard. Usually to impress daughters.. either that, or they're creeping on college aged girls, who may as well be their daughters.
Even Trump isn't immune to that one. Less than usual though.

Stephen King is overrated and a feels Boomer. I find it funny that these Boomers cow tow to females and never the men and sell their country out due to immigration. Diversity has always meant less white people and multicultural means no more whites.

Wasn't Stephen King the kind of guy at one point in his life who was incapable of referring to niggers as "black people?" He would have to stop himself from calling them niggers casually.

Yeah, I think Spike Lee himself called him out on that once.
If these people really wanted to drop racism, they'd just treat ethnicities besides theirs as just mundane and largely ignore it.

Sometimes I fantasize about tricking Stephen King into drinking and snorting coke again in order to have him start cranking out readable books.
I pirated his last three, and every single one of them showed signs of Trump Derangement Syndrome. This orange-man-bad bitch is the same guy who gave us a preteen orgy, a guy turning into an alien who shot his dad for graphically raping him and his little brother when they were kids, and a teenage girl getting covered in pig's blood. Who the hell is he to judge anyone's motivations for anything?

I'm already starting to hear about "Asian Privlege" from the far-left. It's not as big a things as white privlege but I imagine over time it will become a major issue to these people as the Chinese buy us all out.

Obviously, we have to take more drastic steps to even the playing field. I say we include Africans in the Academy voting!

I liked some of his older movies and all but what made him become such an idiot? And what makes him think we care about the Oscars or what he thinks about the Oscars?

Oscars is just Hollywood jerking off and eating their own cum. The faster these retards push themselves into irrelevance the sooner we can enjoy an award that celebrates merit. The Parasite deserves it IMO as Korean movies are quite amazing, but the endless diversity shit is pathetic.

Korea has produced better movies than the jews in Hollywood for quite some time now, but to see it recognized in the Oscars is quite something.

You're actually reading that shit? Well tastes differ. But he is so 1990s to me. Haven't read a book by him for 20 years. Didn't even know that mummy is still alive.

Needs to sell more, otherwise he may get dumped? So he's barking to let ppl know he's still there. They all do like that.
