New York – New York (AP) – Oscar Voters can no longer jump watching some of the nominated films.
The Academy of Arts and Sciences of the Motiones Academy announced Monday that from now on, members will be required to see all the films nominated in each category to be eligible to vote in the final round of the Oscar vote. Until now, Oscar voters had only encouraged to see the nominees and vote in categories in which they felt qualified.
But in recent years, what the members of the Academy see the films have been more and more as a significant factor in what it earns. At the same time, the publication of the anonymous Oscar tickets has often presented to the members who confess that they did not see some notable films or not finish the longest nominees.
On Monday, the Academy also presented a handful of new regulations on issues that include AI, refugee filmmakers and the recently launched casting category.
In the best category of international cinema, the Academy will now allow filmmakers with refugee or asylum status to be represented by a country, not yours. The change of rule maintains in its place the wide device of how international nominees through countries are presented, but modifies eligibility.
The regulation now says: “The country that is submitted must confirm that the creative control of the film was largely in the hands of citizens, residents or people with refugee or asylum status in the country that is submitted.”
Critics have asked for changes for a long time to the nomination process for the best international film because it leaves the process of submission in the hands of governments, not in the academy. That remained dissident filmmakers who work under authoritarian or anti -democratic regimes with limited roads to reach the Oscars.
Last year, for example, the Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasof He fled to Iran before being whipped and imprisoned for eight years to release his movie “The Seed of the Sacred Fig”. Germany, where Rasoulof settled, presented it for the Oscars and was nominated. But other filmmakers, including the friend and compatriot of Rasooulof Jafar PanhiThey have released films without a mechanism for submission.
The change of rule remarkably will not alter Oscar’s prospects for filmmakers who have not fled their countries of origin or change anything for the films transmitted by the selection committees of their nation.
The Academy also ruled that the use of artificial intelligence generative tools “neither helps nor damage the possibilities of a nomination.” How significantly AI in the cinema has been used, as in other industries, a very weakened theme in Hollywood. In this year’s Oscar race, “Brady Corbet’s brutalist” It was a subject of a certain controversy after its editor said that AI had been used to improve the Hungarian dialogue of Adrien Brody stars (which finally finally won the best actor ) and Felicity Jones (who was nominated for the best cast actress).
“The Academy and each branch will judge the achievement, taking into account the degree to which a human was in the heart of creative authorship when choosing what film grant,” said the academy on Monday.
The Film Academy also established some rules for its New achievement at Oscar casting. After a preliminary voting round to determine a short list of 10 films, the members of the casting branch will be invited to a “baked” presentation of preselected films, including one QANDWith nominees.
In early April, the Academy announced A new category for acrobatics designBut that prize will not begin until the Oscar 2028.
The academy awards next year will be held on March 15, 2026, with Conan O’Brien returning to the host The ABC transmission.
