Everybody knows that Hollywood is woke beyond all doubt and all hope for rectifying it.
But I never knew that they actually had published rules for wokeness.
Here are the standards for being eligible for an Oscar award. This is an excerpt from the article about a Danish film getting rave reviews. A reporter asked one of the producers or directors how they felt about their lack of diversity. He laughed about it. And then the article actually listed the rules to win an Oscar.
"There is some rules across the Atlantic for competing in the best picture, the equivalent of this competition," continued the reporter. "I see you don't live up to these standards. ... It's not because of artistic reasons, but because of lack of diversity that this can't compete in that competition."
The reporter was referencing the "Representation and Inclusion Standards for Oscars Eligibility," which require that a film meet two out of four "standards.
To satisfy the first standard, filmmakers must meet one of the following criteria:
The third standard requires both that the film's distribution or financing company offer paid apprenticeships or internships to people from these groups and further that it offer training opportunities and skill developments, but again only to non-whites, non-straights, and women.
The fourth and final standard requires that the film company and/or studio have multiple senior executives from these allegedly underrepresented groups.

To satisfy the first standard, filmmakers must meet one of the following criteria:
- One of the lead actors or "significant supporting actors" must be non-white;
- 30% of all secondary actors must be women, non-white, not-straight, or disabled; and
- The "main storyline(s), theme or narrative of the film is centered on" one of these same groups.
The third standard requires both that the film's distribution or financing company offer paid apprenticeships or internships to people from these groups and further that it offer training opportunities and skill developments, but again only to non-whites, non-straights, and women.
