The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has introduced new eligibility rules for the Oscars. The rules state that only acting performances 'demonstrably performed by humans with their consent will be considered eligible' for nomination. This move addresses the use of generative artificial intelligence in film performances. The changes also allow lead and supporting actors to be nominated for more than one performance in their respective categories. The International Film category will now consider non-English language films that have won specific awards at designated international film festivals, such as the Berlin International Film Festival and Cannes Film Festival. The new rules are available on the academy's website, and the 99th Academy Awards will air on ABC in 2027.
