Oscars Tighten Theatrical Release Requirements for Best Picture Eligibility
TL;DR Summary
The Academy's new theatrical release requirements for best picture eligibility starting in 2024 may not have a significant impact on streamers, as most of their past best picture contenders would have met the new requirements. Art house distributors and non-English-language films are also unlikely to be greatly affected. However, documentary features may face a higher hurdle to land a best picture nomination. Overall, the number of eligible films may shrink slightly, but any film with a real shot at a best picture nomination in the past would still have a chance under the new requirements.
