Oscars: Academy unveils new diversity guidelines for Best Picture

Al Jazeera  

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences publishes new rules that filmmakers will have to meet starting 2024. The body that awards the Oscars has published detailed inclusion and diversity guidelines that filmmakers will have to meet for their work to be eligible for a Best Picture prize, starting in 2024. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which has been criticised often for a heavily white and predominantly male list of nominees, on Tuesday said the standards represent a new phase of a five-year effort to promote diversity on and off-screen. Starting in 2024, films that want to be considered for a Best Picture nomination will have to meet two of the four new standards, the Academy said. The new guidelines The four standards cover diversity representation among actors and subject matter; behind-the-camera staff, such as cinematographers and costume designers; paid apprenticeships and training opportunities; and marketing and publicity.
