Can you really blame the academy though? They've been hammered pretty much non stop by comedians and popular media that they're not inclusive enough with absolutely no one defending them probably in fear of getting canceled. And once this happens, everybody throws their hands up and says no that's not really what we wanted. The real issue here is that everybody's got a mouth these days...

Yes... Don't give in to people who want to cheapen awards for political points. Let talented diverse crews win on the merits of their art.

The awards where always about political points. It’s just a way for the MPAA to look legitimate. Further more it has never been about the merits of their art. Otherwise Boss Baby would never have got a nomination.
