Several users slammed the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for introducing a new set of rules to promote inclusivity, with one of them calling out the committee for curbing "creative expression" and "artistic freedom."Some users also gave the example of The Godfather and how it would not have been able to bag the Best Picture award if rules applied to it. Others stated that these new rules will devolve the Oscars' standards when it comes to films rather than helping it.Screenshot of a Twitter user remarking on The Academy Awards' new guidelines for contesting a film in its "Best Picture" category.

I respect them for not even trying to hide it anymore. https://t.co/O6OmGKKMGjWhile speaking to The New York Post, an anonymous director rubbished the new set of regulations to maintain inclusivity.“It’s completely ridiculous. I’m for diversity, but to make you cast certain types of people if you want to get nominated? That makes the whole process contrived. The person who is right for the part should get the part. Why should you be limited in your choices? But it’s the world we’re in. This is crazy.”During an interview last month, actor Richard Dreyfuss harshly criticized Hollywood's new inclusiveness standards, claiming they make him "vomit."As of this writing, the Oscars have not responded to the backlash received online on its new rules on inclusivity.
