Dreyfuss claimed that the Oscars' inclusion guidelines are 'patronizing' and reveal that people are 'so fragile'
Legendary actor Richard Dreyfuss condemned Hollywood’s new inclusivity standards in strong terms during a recent interview, claiming they make him "vomit."
Dreyfuss, who’s starred in "Jaws" "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," and many other classic Hollywood films, blistered the new diversity and inclusion guidelines that will be implemented at the Academy Awards starting next year.
The guidelines must be adhered to by any film in the running for a "Best Picture" Oscar.
As first noted on Hollywood in Toto, PBS anchor Margaret Hoover brought up the new guidelines during her interview with the actor on PBS’ "Firing Line" Friday.
The anchor stated, "Starting in 2024, films will be required to meet new inclusion standards to be eligible for the Academy Awards for ‘Best Picture.’ They’ll have to have a certain percentage of actors or crew from under-represented racial or ethnic groups."
She asked, "What do you think of these new inclusion standards for films?"
Not holding back, Dreyfuss declared, "They make me vomit."
