Dear Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences @TheAcademy: “Reagan” is a historic biopic. Were they supposed to include made-up characters? //

Fan-favorite presidential biopic “Reagan” has been disqualified from consideration for the Best Picture Oscar this year — because it failed to meet the judges’ DEI requirements.

The movie, starring Dennis Quaid as the Republican president, couldn’t hit any of the criteria that the Academy for Motion Pictures requires of Best Picture nominations, including that their casts be at least 30% from traditionally underrepresented groups such as minorities, women and the LGBTQ community.

“By these new rules, many previous winners would never have been recognized,” said “Reagan” screenwriter Howard A. Klausner to The Post. //

“We were among 116 films that were eliminated for consideration this year,” Klausner said as the famed awards ceremony was set to be held Sunday evening. “Obviously, there needs to be a conversation about this policy.”
