The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has established new rules for the 2026 Oscars, mandating voters to watch every nominated film in a category to participate. Additionally, ballot changes will include names of nominees. There is a clear stance on AI's role in nominations, stating it does not influence outcomes. Noteworthy categories such as Casting will have new voting procedures, including preliminary rounds to shortlist films. These updates aim to enhance accountability and ensure voters are adequately informed about the films they are voting on.
Academy members must now watch all nominated films in each category to be eligible to vote in the final round for the Oscars.
With regard to Generative Artificial Intelligence... the tools neither help nor harm the chances of achieving a nomination.
Final ballots will now list the names of all designated nominees, in addition to the nominated movie.
Eligibility and voting rules for the inaugural Oscar for Achievement in Casting have also been codified, including a preliminary round of voting.
