And the Oscar Does Not Go to… AI 'Actors' and AI-Written Screenplays, the Academy Says

The Academy updated its 99th Oscars rules to require human-performed credited roles and human-authored screenplays for eligibility.

It also said it can ask for proof of human involvement, tightening scrutiny around AI use in awards submissions.

Other changes include allowing multiple nominations for one actor and moving the best international film award to the director.

The move formalizes Hollywood’s effort to keep AI from replacing performers and writers, with implications for unions and creative labor protections.
