The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has made some sweeping rule changes for the 2027 Oscars that will finally address some long-looming concerns and forever alter Hollywood's biggest night. In one of the most seismic shifts to voting for acting nominees since the awards show's conception, it will now be possible for the same actor to be nominated multiple times in the same category for different performances if both place within the top five vote-getters. Additionally, the barrier for international films to qualify just got far lower, no longer requiring an official selection from a country. Instead, winning a major award at an approved film festival as specified in the International Feature Film Award Qualifying Festival List is enough to be submitted for consideration. The Academy also took a hard stance on AI, outright barring generated performances and scripts from consideration.
