I agree that art is art and greater regulation can be detrimental to free expression.But if I read correctly, the regs are for Best Picture nominees. And Dreyfuss' response implies some sort of expectation to be nominated. As if the purpose of creating a film is to win an award.
That's another layer of his stupidity on this. And if I remember correctly, nominees only need to hit one of the four criteria. It's really a minimal hoop to jump through.
"That said, I do appreciate Patrick Stewart’s version of Othello where he remains white and everyone else is Black. Othello is still an outsider and Blackness is presented as the default."
I immediately thought of Patrick Stewart when I saw the headline.
It's an award. Given out by a club. Feel free to make your art in any way you like. If Dreyfus wants to play Othello j he should go right ahead and do that. Just don't expect an Oscar for it. (Even if it meet the criteria, Dick, don't expect an Oscar for that)
So 1965 is going to be our barometer? Excuse me?

Othello? Dreyfuss couldn't even play the Fool in Lear
He played Iago effectively. But in light of recent developments, that was type-casting.
I was disappointed to learn that Richard Dreyfuss is a bigoted, self-center, selfish, thoughtless dick
I think it looks more like 1865.
Maybe he can play that parrot. You know, Iago.

Wasn't that idjit J'accused?
I seem to remember an affair involvimg a Dreyfuss. And I was led to believe he was a Joo.
Something something Duddy Kravitz.

Does this mean Jethro Tull wins over Metallica again?
I've never seen somebody cry so hard while jerking themselves off. Take your self-pity party elsewhere, Richard.
I also enjoyed Robert Downey, Jr.’s portrayal of Dreyfus’ dream role in Tropic Thunder. Hilarious!

You might if you watched the right sort of cinema. :D
