US EditionAI actors and writers will not be eligible for Oscars, Academy says
The Academy also tightened AI guidance and expanded international feature eligibility as it updates awards rules for the 99th Oscars.
- On Friday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced significant rule updates for the 99th Oscars, expanding acting nomination eligibility and creating new pathways for international film entries.
- Actors may now receive multiple nominations in a single category, aligning the acting branch with other categories where performers routinely compete against themselves.
- International films can now qualify by winning top prizes at Cannes, Venice, and Toronto film festivals, bypassing country-selection committees, with directors credited as official nominees rather than nations.
- Addressing generative artificial intelligence, the Academy mandated that all eligible performances and screenplays must be demonstrably human-authored, reserving the right to request information about AI use.
- Additional changes include increasing Casting statuettes from two to three, requiring Governors Awards to represent three disciplines annually, and mandating Visual Effects branch members view bake-off reels to vote.

The Oscar award now excludes artificial intelligence (AI) in acting performances and screenplays.
However, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences did not completely ban the use of artificial intelligence in films competing for Oscars.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which awards the Oscars, has for the first time addressed the use of artificial intelligence in acting and screenwriting in its awards rules, and has also announced other updates in several categories.
The most coveted film awards in the world have new rules: those who want an Oscar from 2027 on must be a human being. Actors who have had a particularly good year will have better chances of winning an award in the future.
