The Oscar Academy in Beverly Hills has tightened the requirements for films vying for the Oscar in the top category Best Picture. As the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced on Wednesday, all contenders in this category must now have been seen longer than before in a cinema in order to qualify for the Oscar election in the following year.
So far, the condition has been that films have been shown in a cinema in one of six US metropolises for at least one week by the end of the year. This runtime on the cinema screen is now being extended. The Film Academy stipulates cinema screenings on an additional seven days in at least ten US metropolises from 2024. These conditions for a longer theatrical run only apply to candidates in the top category “Best Film”, but not for the other 22 categories such as direction, screenplay or acting achievements.
Streaming services affected
It is the declared goal of the Academy to celebrate and appreciate the art of film, according to a statement from boss Janet Yang and managing director Bill Kramer. The hope is that these conditions will bring more viewers to the cinema once more.
This mainly affects streaming providers such as Netflix, Apple TV+ or Amazon, who often only plan a short release of their films in cinemas. Apple TV+’s “CODA” in 2022 was the first streaming production ever to win the Oscar for best picture.
