Oscars organization expands international film eligibility, addresses AI in new rules

  • On Friday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced significant rule updates for the 99th Oscars, expanding acting nomination eligibility and creating new pathways for international film entries.
  • Actors may now receive multiple nominations in a single category, aligning the acting branch with other categories where performers routinely compete against themselves.
  • International films can now qualify by winning top prizes at Cannes, Venice, and Toronto film festivals, bypassing country-selection committees, with directors credited as official nominees rather than nations.
  • Addressing generative artificial intelligence, the Academy mandated that all eligible performances and screenplays must be demonstrably human-authored, reserving the right to request information about AI use.
  • Additional changes include increasing Casting statuettes from two to three, requiring Governors Awards to represent three disciplines annually, and mandating Visual Effects branch members view bake-off reels to vote.
