Federal officials eye Hollywood’s discrimination quotas for Oscar winners

Hiring quotas used by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to judge annual Oscars “Best Picture” winners have caught the attention of a top federal civil rights official amid the administration’s crackdown on discriminatory woke policies.

Urged to take action by Washington-based legal watchdog Judicial Watch, President Donald Trump’s top civil rights adviser said she was open to digging into the Academy’s 2020 quota requirements, suggesting that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission would take the lead.
