“#The Oscars Announce New Inclusion Standards for Best Picture Eligibility<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\"2021<\/img><\/p>\n

Ever since the #OscarsSoWhite debacle of 2015, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science<\/a>s<\/strong> have been making significant strides to try to change their image as a creaky, majority-white institution. They\u2019ve welcomed more women, people of color, and international stars into their ranks, expanded their categories, and so on. But the Academy may have made its most significant stride yet with the new introduction of inclusion standards into the Oscars eligibility rules. To be eligible for a Best Picture nomination, films must meet a minimum of two of the four new Oscar inclusion standards just announced by the Academy.<\/p>\n

Nearly five years after #OscarsSoWhite dominated social media<\/a>, the Academy announced its Academy Aperture 25 initiative: a set of new inclusion and representation standards that will determine whether a film is eligible for Best Picture, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Starting with the 2024 Oscars<\/strong>, a film must meet two of the following four standards to be eligible for Oscar\u2019s biggest prize: on-screen representation, theme<\/a>s, and narratives; creative leadership and project team; industry access and opportunities; and audience development.<\/p>\n

The new inclusion standards have been introduced \u201cto encourage equitable representation on and off screen in order to better reflect the diversity of the movie-going audience,\u201d the Academy announced Tuesday. The new requirements were determined by a task force headed by Academy governors\u00a0DeVon Franklin<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Jim Gianopulos<\/strong>\u00a0and were modeled after a template inspired by the British Film Institute Diversity Standards, for the BAFTAs.<\/p>\n

The new inclusion standards will not be required for films competing in the upcoming 93rd annual Oscars, and will only\u00a0begin with the 96th Oscar race in 2024. Only Best Picture contenders will be held to these eligibility requirements, for now.<\/p>\n

Will this actually make an impact on the films nominated for Best Picture in the future? It\u2019s too soon to tell, though any concern that this would exclude past Oscar favorites like\u00a0Marriage Story<\/em> or\u00a0The Irishman<\/em> should be assuaged: because films only have to meet two of the four requirements, those films would still qualify thanks to their diverse production and marketing departments. This would for sure encourage studios to hire more diversity behind-the-scenes, but it\u2019s unlikely that it will actually change the films themselves all that much.<\/p>\n

See the full set of standards below.<\/p>\n

STANDARD A:\u00a0 ON-SCREEN REPRESENTATION, THEMES AND NARRATIVES<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

To achieve Standard A, the film must meet ONE of the following criteria:<\/p>\n

A1. Lead or significant supporting actors<\/strong>\u00a0At least one of the lead actors or significant supporting actors is from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group.<\/p>\n
