2025 Oscars Shake-Up: Academy Rolls Out New Rules

April 23, 2024, 2:54 pm

The Oscars, widely regarded as Hollywood’s top film awards, are set to see notable alterations as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) has implemented revised regulations and campaign guidelines for its 97th ceremony, scheduled for March 2nd the following year.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Academy has updated the requirements for films to support conventional cinema theaters.

In a new directive, movies must now be showcased for a minimum of one week in specific urban regions, such as Los Angeles County, New York City, the Bay Area, Chicago, Atlanta, and the latest inclusion, Dallas-Fort Worth. Furthermore, they must adhere to enhanced theatrical criteria across various markets in the United States and internationally.

A noteworthy change is the merging of the animated feature and international feature categories. Animated films submitted by foreign nations are now eligible for consideration in both categories, subject to meeting the necessary criteria. Additionally, composers stand to gain from these modifications.

The Hollywood Reporter claims that instead of a shortlist of 15, the best original score category will now have 20 entries, and up to three composers would be eligible to receive individual statuettes for their contributions to a score.

The requirement that writers seeking Oscar recognition submit a completed shooting screenplay may affect films that feature a lot of improvisation.

Changes are underway for the special awards presented at the Governors Awards ceremony. The Irving G Thalberg Memorial Award will no longer take the form of a bust; instead, it will be represented by an Oscar statuette. Additionally, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award has been redefined to recognize humanitarian endeavors that advance human welfare and address disparities.

Moreover, adjustments have been made to two awards at the Scientific and Technical Awards to better acknowledge technological contributions. Additionally, important deadlines for submissions have been specified, underscoring the significance of submitting entries promptly across categories such as animated short films, documentary features, and international feature films.

The Academy has revised its regulations for campaign promotions, providing guidelines for promoting eligible motion pictures and performances to its members. These updates demonstrate the Academy’s dedication to adjusting to the changing dynamics of the film industry while upholding the Oscars’ integrity and prestige. As Hollywood prepares for the 97th Oscars, there is great anticipation for a ceremony that will honor excellence and creativity in filmmaking.

‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ actor Shameik Moore apologizes for Oscars reaction.

March 12, 2024, 4:44 pm

‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ star Shameik Moore has expressed regret for his initial reaction after the film failed to win an award at the 2024 Oscars. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Moore, who voices Miles Morales (aka Spider-Man) in the franchise, took to social media (formerly known as Twitter) to voice his disappointment, stating that the film was “robbed” after losing to Hayao Miyazaki’s ‘The Boy and the Heron’ in the best-animated feature film category.

*robbed

Moore faced criticism for his comments, with many rebuking him for belittling Miyazaki’s critically acclaimed work. Some urged Moore to show respect for Miyazaki’s artistry. Shortly after, Moore issued an apology, acknowledging that he should have been more gracious in his initial response.

“Respect to the winners. It’s true, I’m definitely a sore loser, but we didn’t lose. Spiderverse has impacted A LOT of lives, we may not have been acknowledged tonight but life goes on, and BEYOND….. yea get ready,” Moore wrote in a follow-up post.

One fan highlighted the appropriate reactions of Christopher Miller, co-writer and producer of ‘Across the Spider-Verse’. Miller had tweeted, “Well, if you’re gonna lose, might as well lose to the GOAT.” Moore quoted the fan’s comment in a tweet, apologizing for his behavior: “You’re right, honestly the whole Spiderverse team are such good sports. Very professional and I’m excited to see what comes of this. I’m young, and a fighter, so forgive my nature. Congrats to the winners.”

While ‘Across the Spider-Verse’ did not win any awards, the first film in the animated franchise did win the 2019 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
