I'm willing to accept the possibility that Nolan either was forced to cast Page/Lupita or decided to for woke cred, and then minimized their roles and made a great movie anyway. I'll wait and see, but Nolan has made great movies in the past. It's too bad we have to try to decipher if we're being hoodwinked into watching a DEI movie or not.
Nothing a little patience won't be able to clear up. The two DEI women are a huge red flag, but the online folks who were dogging the movie for that are also the types that will see it and own up if the movie is actually good.

It's the Oscar rules. You have to have the DEI bullshit in to even be considered.

the oscar rules thing isn't really a thing, it only applies for best picture (no other category) and more importantly there are 4 criteria and only 2 must be met. One is on screen 30% main/supporting must be gay as fuck, or two is 30% behind the camera. There are two quiet alternatives though which pretty much lets any big studio in - the studio must offer paid internships and support diversity programs for usual diversity crowd or marketing/sales at the studio must be gay/muslim as fuck.

I'm pretty sure Warner Bros already meets those two categories since just hiring white women counts as being diverse and most sales/marketing teams are stupid out of touch bitches so any movie with their name on it qualifies.

Rotten Tomatoes has been useful when critic score is too high (woke goy slop usually), too low (might be a fun movie), or when audience and critic scores diverge dramatically. Thats really the only barometer, sort of a reality check on obvious propaganda.

This ackshually shit keeps coming up about the rules.

Yeah, we know they can do the bare minimum. Do you really think doing the bare minimum to meet the rules gets you votes? Does that even make sense logically?

"Well I guess they met the offscreen requirements Jim, hell now we gotta evaluate this one fairly with the other movies nominated. I'll let the boys know they have internship programs in bumfuckville and hired some 30% gay key grips behind the camera"

No.

You show inclusiveness with DEI in your main/support cast, or you won't get the votes to win and you won't be considered competitive. Period.
