The inclusion\nstandards form will be confidential and will not be required for best picture\nhopefuls for the 94th and 95th Academy Awards.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In an historic move, the Oscars are\nraising the inclusion bar for best picture nominees starting with the 96th\nAcademy Awards in 2024. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on\nTuesday laid out sweeping eligibility reforms to the best picture category\nintended to encourage diversity and equitable representation on screen and off,\naddressing gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity and disability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film academy has established four broad\nrepresentation categories: On screen; among the crew; at the studio; and in\nopportunities for training and advancement in other aspects of the film\u2019s\ndevelopment and release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each standard has detailed subcategories as\nwell. To meet the on-screen representation standard, a film must either have at\nleast one lead character or a significant supporting character be from an\nunderrepresented racial or ethnic group, at least 30% of secondary roles must\nbe from two underrepresented groups or the main storyline, theme or narrative\nmust be focused on an underrepresented group. According to the academy,\nunderrepresented groups include women, people of color, people who identify as\nLGBTQ+ or people with disabilities<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best picture award, which is handed out to the producers of a film, is the one category which every film academy member can vote for. Earlier this year, the South Korean film Parasite became the first non-English language film to win the award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All other categories will be held to their\ncurrent eligibility requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe aperture must widen to reflect our\ndiverse global population in both the creation of motion pictures and in the\naudiences who connect with them,\u201d said Academy President David Rubin and CEO\nDawn Hudson in a written statement. \u201cWe believe these inclusion standards will\nbe a catalyst for long-lasting, essential change in our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second category addresses the creative\nleadership and crew composition of a film. In order to meet the standard a film\nmust have either at least two leadership positions or department heads be from\nan underrepresented group and at least one be from an underrepresented racial\nor ethnic group; at least six other crew be from an underrepresented racial or\nethnic group; or at least 30% of the film\u2019s crew be from an underrepresented\ngroup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third category deals with paid\ninternship and apprenticeship opportunities as well as training opportunities\nfor below-the-line workers, and the fourth category addresses representation in\nmarketing, publicity and distribution teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inclusion standards form will be\nconfidential and will not be required for best picture hopefuls for the 94th\nand 95th Academy Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inclusion standards were developed by a\ntask force led by academy governors DeVon Franklin and Jim Gianopulos and in\nconsultation with the Producers Guild of America. They also took into account\ndiversity standards used by the British Film Institute and the British Academy\nof Film and Television Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These changes will also not affect the 93rd\nAcademy Awards, although the academy has had to make a few alterations because\nof COVID-19<\/a>\u2019s\neffects on the movie business, including pushing the ceremony back two months\nto April 25, 2021 and allowing films that debuted on a streaming service to be\neligible for best picture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
