US EditionOscars Rule Changes Ban AI Performances
The academy said only human performances and human-written screenplays will qualify, while non-English films can now enter through major festival wins.
- 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.
