#Oscars: New representation and inclusion standard for best picture eligibility

September 9,2020
Share:

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced new representation and inclusion standards for Oscars  Best Picture category eligibility.

This is part of its Academy Aperture  2025 initiative which is aimed at equitable representation on and off screen in order to better reflect the diversity of the movie-going audience.

Starting in 2024, films will need to meet at least two of four new standards to qualify for Best Picture category.

According to the new guidelines, Films vying for Best Picture in 2022 and 2023 will be required to fill out a confidential Academy Inclusion Standards form, even though meeting inclusion thresholds will not be required for Best Picture eligibility until 2024.

The first criteria is that a film must have at least one lead or significant supporting actor’ from an underrepresented group including Asian, Hispanic/Latinx, Black/African American, Indigenous/Native American/Alaskan Native, Middle Eastern/North African Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander or Other underrepresented race or ethnicity.

The second criteria states that if the film is an ensemble, there must be at least 30% of all actors in secondary and more minor roles who are either women, from a racial or ethnic group, from the LGBTQ+ community or people with cognitive or physical disabilities, or who are deaf or hard of hearing.

The third criteria revolves around the story, which must revolve around women, from a racial or ethnic group, from the LGBTQ+ community or people with cognitive or physical disabilities, or who are deaf or hard of hearing to qualify for this criteria.

If any one of those criteria are met, a film achieves the first standard.

The second standard focuses on ‘creative leadership and project team.’

To achieve the second standard, a film must meet at least one of the three criteria below.

 

The first criteria states that a film must have at least two creative leaders or department heads in the following roles – Casting Director, Cinematographer, Composer, Costume Designer, Director, Editor, Hairstylist, Makeup Artist, Producer, Production Designer, Set Decorator, Sound, VFX Supervisor, Writer – who are either women, from a racial or ethnic group, from the LGBTQ+ community or people with cognitive or physical disabilities, or who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Of those two positions, at least one must be from the following groups: Asian, Hispanic/Latinx, Black/African American, Indigenous/Native American/Alaskan Native, Middle Eastern/North African Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander or Other underrepresented race or ethnicity.

The second criteria states that at least six other crew members/technical team members must be from an underrepresented group, including positions such as First AD, Gaffer, Script Supervisor.

The third criteria states that the entire crew must be comprised of over 30% of those from underrepresented groups such as women, from a racial or ethnic group, from the LGBTQ+ community or people with cognitive or physical disabilities, or who are deaf or hard of hearing.

 

Then the third standard focuses on ‘Industry Access and Opportunities’, with two criteria, both of which must be met.

 

The first criteria is that a film’s studio or production company must have paid interns who are from the following groups: women, from a racial or ethnic group, from the LGBTQ+ community or people with cognitive or physical disabilities, or who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Top studios are required to have, ‘substantive, ongoing paid apprenticeships/internships inclusive of underrepresented groups (must also include racial or ethnic groups) in most of the following departments: production/development, physical production, post-production, music, VFX, acquisitions, business affairs, distribution, marketing and publicity.’

Mini-major and/or independent companies/studios must have, ‘a minimum of two apprentices/interns from the above underrepresented groups (at least one from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group) in at least one of the following departments: production/development, physical production, post-production, music, VFX, acquisitions, business affairs, distribution, marketing and publicity.”

The second criteria states that a film production company must deliver, ‘training and/or work opportunities for below-the-line skill development to people from the following underrepresented groups: Women, Racial or ethnic group,LGBTQ+, People with cognitive or physical disabilities, or who are deaf or hard of hearing.

The fourth and final standard comprises of  ‘Audience Development’,
It states that the studio or production company must have ‘multiple in-house senior executives’ from underrepresented groups on their publicity and marketing teams.

The Academy added that films in the specialty feature categories (Animated Feature Film, Documentary Feature, International Feature Film), ‘will be addressed separately.’

‘The aperture must widen to reflect our diverse global population in both the creation of motion pictures and in the audiences who connect with them,’ said Academy President David Rubin and Academy CEO Dawn Hudson has said in a statement.

‘The Academy is committed to playing a vital role in helping make this a reality,’

‘We believe these inclusion standards will be a catalyst for long-lasting, essential change in our industry,’ the statement concluded.

The guidelines were developed by Academy governors DeVon Franklin and Jim Gianopulos, who created a team to develop the standards.
