The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Wednesday held a virtual town hall for its members to discuss the implementation of its new inclusion standards for its Oscar Best Picture category.
The members-only briefing was led by chief executive Bill Kramer, who we’re told insisted that the standards would not prove restrictive to filmmakers.
The Academy team — which included Kramer; governor DeVon Franklin; chief membership, impact and industry officer Meredith Shea, IT officer Bev Kite and others — said the four standards were developed with input from the industry, and supported by 85 percent of members in a recent survey. They also noted that all of the last year’s Best Picture nominees would have qualified but didn’t say under which of the four standards various films met their requirements.
Members today were told that Academy staff members were prepared to help contenders in filling in information on the RAISE (Representation and Inclusion Standards Entry) platform; in response to a member question, Kite gave assurance that submitted data is protected.
A walkthrough of the RAISE platform was demoed showcasing the inclusion standards in an easy-to-follow format. The submission form generates an ID number that can be added to the standard Oscar submission form so data from both applications can be linked.
The initiative, originally unveiled in September 2022, is going into effect with the upcoming 96th Oscars to be handed out on March 10, 2024. In order for films to now qualify for Best Picture, they will need to meet two of the four new standards set forth by the Academy:
