The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences implemented a new set rules that would automatically disqualify any movie--domestic or international--from Best Picture category if it doesn't implement "inclusion standards."
This especially affects Japanese and South Korean productions.
•Standard A (On-Screen Representation): A lead or significant supporting actor is from an underrepresented group (Black, Hispanic, etc.), or at least 30% of the ensemble cast is from underrepresented groups (women, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, or underrepresented ethnic groups).
•Standard B (Creative Team): Key creative leadership or crew positions (directors, cinematographers, etc.) are filled by underrepresented groups.
•Standard C (Industry Access): The production company offers paid internships/apprenticeships to underrepresented groups.
•Standard D (Marketing): The film has diverse marketing, publicity, or distribution teams.
