A good video on the new standards for the I'm-not-racists whose sole understanding of them comes from some Breitbart article:
Tl;Dr: While I'm-not-racists immediately TRUMPeted the "Hollywood is gonna make every movie put more black people in their movies, and that'll make it impossible for movies like 1917 to be eligible!!!" angle, in reality it is actually very easy to meet the new eligibility requirements. Eligibility would require movies to meet at least two of four standards (Standards A-thru-D), and each standard has several criteria by which one can be considered to have met the standard. Basically, the movie only needs to meet at least one criteria from at least two standards to meet the eligibility requirements. Are at least six people on your entire crew from minority groups? Does the distributor or financing company behind the movie have at least two interns from a minority group? Congratulations, you just met Standards B & C, and are eligible for consideration.
