The 96th Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, are quickly approaching in what is widely regarded as the pinnacle of Hollywood's awards season.?
The Oscars will be held at Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre, in the center of Hollywood, and will award the greatest films of 2023 in 24 different categories.Jimmy Kimmel, a late night television broadcaster, will host the show for the fourth time.?
All eyes will be on Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, which has 13 award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for Cillian Murphy's portrayal of J. Robert Oppenheimer himself.
There's also the quite peculiar Poor Things by Yorgos Lanthimos, which received 11 nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director.Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon is also competing for both categories, with ten nominations.?
Speaking of Best Picture, the category has undergone a progressive and welcoming adjustment for 2024 as part of a comprehensive reform to the Oscar rules.?
Almost a decade ago, the 2015 Oscars went viral on Twitter with the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite when only two persons of colour were nominated in key categories.
As a response, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) has announced a revolutionary new program called Academy Aperture 2025.What is its goal?
Improved inclusiveness in the entertainment business and increased representation within the membership and the larger film community.?
As part of the campaign, Academy governors DeVon Franklin and Jim Gianopulos led a task force to create the new criteria, which are based on a template inspired by the British Film Institute's Diversity Standards.?
It means that, for the first time in history, new diversity standards will be implemented in 2024.?
Beginning in 2024, a film's makers must achieve two of four defined goals in order to be considered for nomination.?
