88th Annual Academy Awards

[ban768]

Replacing the mostly old, white dudes in the academy with younger, more diverse members will have an effect on movies in general, not just the racially, ethnically charged ones. We may actually get a best picture list of daring, ambitious movies, not just Oscar bait and period pieces.

Those old white dudes voted for A Clockwork Orange, Star Wars, The Godfather Part I and II, Dog Day Afternoon, Taxi Driver, Midnight Cowboy, Raging Bull, Bonnie and Clyde, Apocalypse Now, Dr. Strangelove, Network, and Jaws to name a few in the Best Picture category. But I guess to you those movies are not daring nor ambitious.

They weren't old then.
