As the Oscars continue this Sunday evening, you might be asking, hey, why is the “Reagan” movie not represented—Dennis Quaid was phenomenal in portraying the Gipper, and the audience scores for the film were tremendous.
It was a solid movie, and in other years, we might be watching its stars on the red carpet and clips being played on the big screen at the Dolby Theater.
But not this go around—the film is being discriminated against because it didn’t honor the edicts of woke Hollywood leftists. The production failed to live up to mandated diversity quotas deemed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
It’s prejudice in the name of tolerance.
And the Oscar DOESN’T go to…

Dear Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences @TheAcademy: “Reagan” is a historic biopic. Were they supposed to include made-up characters?
You don’t have the right numbers, the Academy said:
Fan-favorite presidential biopic “Reagan” has been disqualified from consideration for the Best Picture Oscar this year — because it failed to meet the judges’ DEI requirements.
The movie, starring Dennis Quaid as the Republican president, couldn’t hit any of the criteria that the Academy for Motion Pictures requires of Best Picture nominations, including that their casts be at least 30% from traditionally underrepresented groups such as minorities, women and the LGBTQ community.
“By these new rules, many previous winners would never have been recognized,” said “Reagan” screenwriter Howard A. Klausner to The Post.
There are a few classics you might have heard of that wouldn’t make the cut in today’s woke capital:
That list includes legendary flicks such as “The Godfather,’’ “Patton’’ and “Rocky,” claimed Ed Feulner, a former domestic policy adviser under Reagan, in an opinion piece in the Washington Times.
The film’s producer Mark Joseph, evoking one of Reagan’s own famous lines to complain about Hollywood’s leftist establishment, quipped to The Post, “There they go again.”
“Reagan” — which follows the story of President Ronald Reagan from his small-town middle-America beginnings to Hollywood to the White House — had a cast that was almost entirely white.
Oh the horror! They portrayed his boyhood in a historically accurate manner? No award for you!
@oscars2025live_ Myself I will not be watching the Oscars. A couple reasons:
1) Regan Movie was not nominated because did not have any check marks for DEI. How freaking stupid, you cannot rewrite history.
2) you have your anti Israel, Anti Jewish and support for Hamas, as… pic.twitter.com/OxPQHdfTkW— West Coast Jillian (@CALgreenlaw) March 2, 2025
2) you have your anti Israel, Anti Jewish and support for Hamas, as actors wear their bloody hand pins
3) And Hollywood liberals, just have become too un-Americans, scream about their political views, when they should stick to acting
4) Hard pass for the 2025 Oscars!

If you can believe it, over a hundred films were eliminated from consideration due to this prejudicial policy:
Best Picture nominations must hit at least two of four diversity criteria, including involving their cast and having some members of the typically underrepresented groups work in production off-camera, assist in marketing or fill paid internships.
“Reagan” did not meet any of the requirements, which do not apply for all Oscars awards, just Best Picture.
“We were among 116 films that were eliminated for consideration this year,” Klausner said as the famed awards ceremony was set to be held Sunday evening. “Obviously, there needs to be a conversation about this policy.”
Many on the left would love it if movies like this were never made in the first place.
There They Go Again: Dennis Quaid Says Facebook Censoring Marketing for Reagan Movie
Hollywood artists are famous for saying no one can tell them what to do—they’re mavericks and free thinkers. That is, except when it comes to woke, then you must toe the line or be punished.
To try to force producers to compose their staffs and casts with pre-approved mind-hive numbers is Hollywood’s way of compelling groupthink. It’s not surprising, then, that ratings for the big show have been plummeting in recent years and are predicted to be terrible in the 2025 edition.
I know I stopped watching them when I realized I’d never heard of any of the best-picture nominees.
Now they’ve jettisoned one movie I did see and respected. Nice work, Oscars.
