For its 99th edition, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) has implemented significant changes to the Oscars, scheduled for March 14, 2027, in Los Angeles. Notably, actors can now receive multiple nominations in the same category, allowing for greater recognition of their performances across different films. This change aims to address previous issues where deserving performances were sidelined due to the single nomination rule. Additionally, the international film category will now allow multiple entries from one country, enhancing opportunities for diverse storytelling and representation. Films that win top awards at major global festivals will automatically qualify for nominations, providing an alternate route for deserving films not selected by their country's committees. Furthermore, the Academy has taken a firm stance against artificial intelligence in filmmaking, stating that only screenplays written by humans will be eligible for consideration, and detailed disclosures regarding human authorship may be required. Other changes include new voting requirements for the visual effects category and guidelines for the honorary Governors Awards, ensuring a broader representation of disciplines among recipients.
