Does anyone else think the Oscars should start recognizing works in TV? There’s a lot of great stuff going on in the TV/streaming world. Just because it isn’t all wrapped up in a 2hr theatrical piece doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be recognized by the Academy. I don’t think TV should complete directly against film. They should create separate categories for each like at the Golden Globes. Plus this would easily solve the whole Netflix debate.

It wouldn't be a bad thing if it was added, but I'm not sure it's necessary. The Emmys cover that.

A minimum standard for qualification, once it is met, there shouldn't be a issue for a single movie. If Steven Spielberg isn't satisfied with what that is, tough. But the hundreds of television shows on different networks and streaming services that produce multiple episodes telling either an overriding story over the course of the series or a season- or self-contained stories- those aren't eligible with whatever the current standards are

No. But I would like the Oscars to start recognizing more black actors. Around 15% of the population is black. That means at least 50% of the actors nominated should be black.

Netflix would never accept the TV category or else they would have done so for Roma. They would simply continue to do the bare minimum to qualify for movie consideration.

Well technically speaking if they were to recognize the TV world it would lead to a greater number of artists nominated. With a greater number of people nominated the more likely and probable it will be that more people of different races and nationality’s will be recognized. |

Seems unnecessary, considering the Emmys do that.

But an Emmy award already is an Oscar for television.
Plus the Oscars hardly recognize comedy. I imagine the Oscar TV category would be "Best Television Show" and stuff like 'The Good Place' or 'Veep' probably wouldn't make the cut. They'd only nominate Better Call Saul, The Crown, Game of Thrones, Handmaid's Tale, and Westworld every year.
Plus what's cool about the Oscars is that we start fresh every year. It's all new movies and new performances. The Emmys is like the same shows and actors every year for like 5-6 years lol.

As long as more people of color are recognized and less white people.

different medium, no fricking way. But maybe a separate awards for streaming.

That actually makes no sense. If they are 15% of the population than they should make up 15% of the acting nominations and that is still a stretch since only about 5% of movies star a black actor in a lead role and then if you take that even further and go to supporting the numbers get even less compared to white actors. Not to mention that many of the movies with black actors in prominent roles are movies the Oscars wouldn't even consider, like Night School and movies like that. I'd guess that about 75% of the actors in all the movies that are released theatrically in the U.S. are white. You also would need to want the Oscars to just nominate actors for the sake of nominating them and are ignoring whether they actually deserve a nomination. If you actually go through and look at every movie released in the U.S. in a year you will find that this is a fact. Even some of the movies that are about black issues and directed by black filmmakers star a mostly white supporting cast. Blackkklansman for example.

You are not familiar with this James Avalon poster. He is being sarcastic. What he wrote is meant as an attack on the whole "Oscars So White" thing. Seeing more black actors getting nominations and awards is the last thing he wants.

Hard to pinpoint it when there are extremists out there who would mean that.

Imposing racial quotas on anything is ridiculous.
