"The Academy now explicitly states that only roles, 'demonstrably performed by humans with their consent' are eligible for Acting awards. In other words, AI creations like the much-hyped Tilly Norwood cannot hope to win a Best Actress Oscar anytime soon."
"The Academy also requires screenplays to be 'human-authored' and said it reserved the right to investigate the use of generative AI in any submission."
"Qualifying flesh-and-blood human actors can now be nominated for multiple performances in the same category if those performances get enough votes to land in the top five."
"'If an actor has an extremely prolific year, might we even see someone swallow up three of the five nominations?' wrote Deadline's awards columnist and chief film critic Pete Hammond about the changes."
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced significant rule changes for the 99th Oscars, including AI protections for actors and writers. Only roles performed by humans with consent are eligible for Acting awards, excluding AI creations. Screenplays must be human-authored, and the Academy can investigate generative AI use in submissions. Additionally, actors can now be nominated for multiple performances in the same category if they receive enough votes, allowing for the possibility of multiple nominations for prolific actors.
