As SCOTUS Tackles Affirmative Action, The Film Academy Should Keep A Wary Eye Out
16.10.2022 - 19:57 / deadline.com
Those who run the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences might want to keep an eye—just one eye, not two, but a sharp one nonetheless—on the Supreme Court of the United States, as the court deliberates the future of affirmative action in college admissions.
The court, as has been widely noted, will hear oral argument in two parallel cases—one against the private Harvard University, the other against the public University of North Carolina—on Oct. 31. It is then expected to rule sometime next year.
What SCOTUS decides about academic affirmative action would seem to have little direct legal bearing on the film Academy and the race-, gender- and disability-based inclusion standards it is poised to impose on the Oscar Best Picture race beginning with the 2024 ceremony. After all, educational institutions are governed by a wide range of specific state and federal laws and court precedents, and the movies, even when overseen by a nudgy nonprofit, are still relatively free of such regulation.
But that doesn’t mean the Academy and the film industry at large won’t be affected by the coming debate and potential rulings on racial preference. As we’ve learned from recent decisions on abortion and gun rights, Supreme Court action can quickly trigger a cultural storm. And in the current instance, any broad court pronouncement against race-based standards–a specific complaint is that preference for some black students with weaker academic credentials has meant discrimination against some Asian Americans with stronger records—would surely sweep the Academy’s aggressive diversity program into the noisy maelstrom.

Reel Affirmations Review: When Time Got Louder
When Time Got Louder (★★☆☆☆) provides a few basics in the guise of a sleekly-produced, low-impact drama delivered by a sincere cast. The bad news is that Cocchia, who wrote and directed, is light on story and heavy on characters who fail to ask key questions or explain things that would avoid a great deal of kerfuffle.When you add sets so bland they look staged by a realtor on a budget, teen bedrooms with less personality than a hotel room, and places with names like Bluewater, Whitestone, and Greenville, things feel a lot like a TV show that’s about to get canceled.
