Overview
- The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which updated its rulebook Friday, said only credited roles performed by consenting humans qualify for acting awards following a recent AI recreation of the late Val Kilmer.
- AI-written screenplays are not eligible for Oscars, with eligibility limited to scripts written by people.
- For Best International Feature Film, a non-English title can now qualify by winning a top prize at major festivals such as Cannes, Berlin, Busan, Venice or Toronto.
- Under the revised international rules, the film is the nominee rather than the country.
- The Academy also changed acting rules to allow a performer to receive multiple nominations in the same category in a single year.
