Even if everyone agreed that Reagan was the best movie of the year, it wouldn’t get the Oscar, because it failed to meet 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.

If only they had cast Jussie Smollett as Ronaldus Maximus.

Good thing the DEI quotas don’t work retroactively:

“By these new rules, many previous winners would never have been recognized,” said “Reagan” screenwriter Howard A. Klausner to The Post.

Such movies include Patton, The Godfather, Amadeus, and Rocky.

You can see why there aren’t more movies celebrating the Founding Fathers and the American Revolution. No nonwhites, no sexual deviants, no critical acclaim.

Despite its lack of Oscars attention, “Reagan” commands a glowing 98% audience approval rating on the film-scoring website Rotten Tomatoes, although it also garnered a dismal 18% critics score.

The critics score measures compliance with liberal ideology. Diversity stops being politically correct if applied to viewpoint. As a general rule, the lower the score, the better the movie.

Again we see that as with the Nobel Peace Prize, Pulitzer Prize, and Presidential Medal of Freedom under Democrats, any award bestowed by the moonbat establishment is worthless or worse.
