Oscars Set AI Rules Making Only Human Performances and Scripts Eligible in 2027

The decision draws a firm boundary around human authorship with new disclosure checks for films that use AI tools.

Overview

  • The Academy published eligibility rules for the 2027 ceremony that make AI‑generated acting and screenwriting ineligible for Oscars.
  • Filmmakers may still use AI tools for certain tasks, but the Academy can demand disclosures to verify that credited work was created by people.
  • Leaders emphasized human control of core creative work, with the Academy president saying humans must remain at the center of the process.
  • International Feature rules expand to include films that win top prizes at major festivals such as Cannes, Venice and Toronto.
  • Original song eligibility now requires an end‑credits track to overlap at least the final 15 seconds before the credits begin.
