The Oscar nominations have arrived, and the race is heating up. International Feature Film submissions filled out starting mid-summer 2025.
Over a month after the 2025 ceremony, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced some new rules and campaign regulations ahead of the 98th ceremony. One of the most notable is that voters must now watch all the nominated films in each category in order to have eligibility in the final voting round.
Another key change involves all designated nominees having their names on the final ballot. Previously for many categories, rather than the person nominated, it was just the name of the film as an option to select.A new category at next year’s ceremony will be Achievement in Casting, though the timing of its announcement isn’t yet known between the ceremony or Governor’s Awards.
