“#Oscars 2022 Rules Will Follow Pandemic Qualifying Requirements \u2013 \/Film<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\"2021<\/p>\n

Next year\u2019s Oscars<\/strong> will keep a later spring ceremony date and the pandemic qualifying rules of this past year. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science<\/a>s announced the Oscars 2022 rules, which will allow streaming movies<\/a> to qualify for Best Picture, indicating that it might be the start of permanent changes that will expand eligibility of films who hope to qualify for the awards.<\/p>\n

Variety<\/a> reports that the Academy of\u00a0Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is pushing back the ceremony for the 94th Academy Awards from its originally scheduled airdate of Feburary 27 to\u00a0March 27, 2022<\/strong>, keeping the ceremony in the spring after this year\u2019s Oscars were held in April.
\nAnd like this year\u2019s Oscars, the Academy is keeping the pandemic year rules, expanding eligibility requirements \u2014 like films that debut on streaming or VOD services \u2014 though returning to the standard calendar year. This means that for a feature film to qualify for Best Picture and other general<\/a> entry categories, it will have to be released between March 1 and December 31. Last year, due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Academy expanded eligibility to films released until February 28, 2021, allowing movies like\u00a0Judas and the Black Messiah<\/em> and\u00a0The United States vs. Billie Holiday<\/em> to slide in.<\/p>\n

The big question is: is the Academy keeping these pandemic qualifying rules because things haven\u2019t completely returned to normal yet? Theaters are mostly reopened and successful vaccine rollout is encouraging audiences back to theaters, while the theatrical slate is almost as full as pre-COVID times. Per Variety, the Academy \u201csignaled that some of these addendums could become permanent.\u201d The Academy announced its intention to expand qualifying requirements for the 2023 Oscars ceremony, with many speculating that films that debut on streaming could land a permanent place in the Academy\u2019s rulebook. With the accelerated rise of streaming platforms amid the pandemic, and with the surge in original movies made strictly for those platforms, that seems like a wise decision.<\/p>\n

The Academy\u2019s Board of Governors app<\/a>roved to adopt the addendums made for the 2021 Oscars season. Here\u00a0are the two methods for a feature to qualify for best picture and general entry categories:<\/p>\n

  1. Films which are intended for theatrical release, but are initially made available through commercial streaming, VOD service, or other broadcast may qualify under these provisions:\n
