Oscars 2027: The Academy changes rules for nominations, International film eligibility; AI actors and writers 'not eligible'
The Oscars are embracing AI, emphasizing human authorship for 2027 awards while not banning the technology.
Performances require human consent, and screenplays must be human-authored.
Significant changes also expand international film eligibility, recognizing top festival winners directly, not just country submissions, and honoring filmmakers over nations.
