Variety magazine says Daily Wire podcaster <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/matt-walsh">Matt Walsh</a> is a “hypocrite” for daring to submit his hit documentary “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/am-i-racist">Am I Racist</a>?,” the top-grossing documentary in a decade, for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/oscars">Academy Award</a> consideration.
Writer Clayton Davis said the submission of the film, which made $12.3 million at the box office, was nothing but an example of “alt-right commentators” making it their “mission to ridicule the entertainment industry’s awards circuit.”
The <a href="https://variety.com/2024/film/awards/am-i-racist-submitted-oscars-matt-walsh-conservative-hypocrisy-1236210876/">Variety</a> contributor downplayed the significance of “Am I Racist?” performing well at the box office, citing Marvel movies as examples of why films that do well financially shouldn’t necessarily win or even be considered for awards.
“The real story here is the apparent contradiction: conservative voices denounce ‘woke Hollywood,’ while actively seeking its approval,” Davis wrote.
“And as award season progresses, if (or when?) ‘Am I Racist?’ doesn’t receive the recognition its backers believe it deserves — or doesn’t appear on Variety’s inevitable ‘snubs and surprises’ list — the outcry will likely follow the same script,” he went on.
“In an era where conservatives champion the rhetoric of former president Donald Trump, perhaps they remember his famous line: ‘When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.’ Sorry, baby. You’re not a star.”

Walsh shot back at the critic on X, calling it “one of the most insane articles” he’s ever read.
“We have the most successful film in its genre this decade, but we are somehow ‘hypocrites’ for suggesting that it deserves any awards recognition at all,” Walsh said. “Conservatives are supposed to stay in their ghettos.”

Walsh <a href="https://x.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1851312460671697137">announced</a> on October 29 that the film had officially been submitted for Academy Award consideration.
The film “Am I Racist?” featured Walsh going undercover in the world of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to expose the grift of the race hustlers profiting off people’s emotions through deception. It has a 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes with more than 2,500 verified reviews. Despite the overwhelming popularity of the movie, mainstream critics have largely ignored it.
