"Oscars Revamp Campaign Rules Following Andrea Riseborough Controversy"

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has updated its rules and regulations for the 96th annual Academy Awards, including clarifications regarding campaigns and social media use. The changes come after the controversial Andrea Riseborough campaign that resulted in a Best Actress nomination. The new rules recognize private events and gatherings of members but do not allow companies to fund, organize, or endorse them. The use of social media is allowed but not for discussing voting preferences or eligibility requirements. The Academy has also limited the number of hosted screenings and emphasized severe restrictions on campaign activity allowed for governors.
