Richard Dreyfuss laments new rules being instated at next year's Oscars ceremony, which will require Best Picture nominations to meet certain diversity requirements in order be considered eligible.
Those new guidelines state that any Best Picture nominees must hire a certain percentage of talent from underrepresented minority groups in order to be considered eligible, among other criteria to achieve more representation at the Oscars.
Welp, RD didn't bite his tongue ... he says that whole idea makes him sick -- and when asked why ... he goes on this somewhat incoherent rant about artistry and sparing feelings. He then goes on to talk about the role of Othello, and he says the last white actor to play the Shakespearean character was Laurence Olivier -- who did it in blackface ... something he seems to lament being over and done with. Dreyfuss says LO portrayed Othello brilliantly.
Dreyfuss then says,"Am I being told that I will never have a chance to play a Black man?" He goes on to say these new rules are patronizing and counterintuitive to the creation of art.
