Probably that they're a bunch of rich people whining about privilege, and they think giving awards to minorities will give them brownie points for being "woke".

Now if it had been a North Korean film it would be a different story.

If that wasn’t bad enough, the judge barred Stone from speaking anything about this trial to anyone on any news outlet, social media platform, etc. He will be breaking the law if he tells someone to speak on his behalf as well. This judge is actively restricting his freedom of speech, all the while having a partisan trial
You keep asserting this but haven't told us which right-wing rag you heard it from.
I mean, the Defense has a role in jury selection and can easily invalidate a jury if they come across conflicts of interest, so it's remarkably convenient that Stone's defense team overlooked that every juror was a Bernie Bro and didn't make a motion to disqualify the jury or seek a retrial with a new judge.

Sweet Jesus, I didn't think I'd need to get into a discussion of utility theory here (a problem that's going to be made ten times worse because the whole theory is somewhat flaky, largely as a consequence of the subjective nature of the concept).
<sigh>
OK, let's just keep this simple and amend the forgoing statement to read, "... people don't buy things that have no use to them", with the proviso that "having a use" includes such concepts as "it makes me smile," "I thought it was funny", "I think it's really cool," and so forth.
Does that help?

Not in a Hollywood that's constantly being upbraided for being So White. *shrug* Superficially, there is an unpleasant aroma of pandering about it. But Hollywood can't do anything right in the eyes of Donald Trump, so you have to take his statements for what they're worth.

Trump can't do anything right in the eyes of Hollywood. Hollywood is full of leftists, Pro Democrats, Pro Fidel, Pro Raúl, Pro Diaz-Canel of Cuba, Pro Chávez, Pro Maduro of Venezuela and Pro Bernie Sanders.

Hollywood could start doing right by ceasing to cover for pedophiles and rapists. I mean shit Woody Allen basically groomed his daughter-wife.

When these actors are President; then it’s time to worry. So what? they met with people the cubans don’t like. Their actions are far less then trump who continues to gush over authoritarians and uses to office for personal gain at the expense of the country.

John Bolton: Trump's Impeachment Was a Partisan Circus and My Testimony Wouldn't Have Helped Democrats
Former national security adviser John Bolton on Wednesday denounced the House’s impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump as ”grossly partisan” and said his testimony would not have changed Trump’s acquittal in the Senate, as he continued to stay quiet on the details of a yet-to-be-released book.
In his second public discussion this week, Bolton was on stage at Vanderbilt University with former national security adviser under President Barack Obama, Susan Rice, who questioned Bolton’s refusal to discuss more details while his book undergoes screening for possible classified national security details by the Trump administration. Bolton was likewise quiet on specifics from the book during a Monday speaking engagement at Duke University.
[…]
Bolton contended that the House “committed impeachment malpractice,” drawing some grumbling from the audience, saying “the process drove Republicans who might have voted for impeachment away because it was so partisan.” He also said he didn’t expect the Senate to vote against having him testify.
“People can argue about what I should have said and what I should have done,” Bolton said. “I would bet you a dollar right here and now, my testimony would have made no difference to the ultimate outcome.”

Not really. Big difference between saying something in public supposedly to help sell a book and answering questions under oath.
