The recent Motion Picture Academy and Golden Globes rule changes highlight a larger problem: relevancy. It's not hard to notice the difference between the too-white Oscar show and its various rivals, from the Golden Globes, SAG and the Critics' Choice Awards to the recent (uber-promotional) MTV Movie Awards, all of which broaden their nomination categories to include a far more diverse selection of popular hits and television players. Even if the Academy, in a memo to its members this week, backtracked on its hastily announced eligibility requirements —“despite what you may have heard, and despite the timing of our announcement, this proposal is actually not about diversity"—the larger question of staying relevant as the industry changes around them is vital.
