Academy Bans AI From Acting and Screenwriting Awards

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced new eligibility rules: acting roles must be human-credited and performed with consent, and screenplays must be human-authored to be eligible, effectively excluding AI-generated performances and AI-written scripts from acting and writing categories. AI can still be used in productions, but those works won't be eligible for Oscars in these categories. The rules for other categories like visual effects, costumes, or music remain undecided. The changes also allow actors to be nominated for multiple performances in the same category, and international films will be credited as nominees rather than by country.

Rocky the Puppeteer Eyes Oscar Eligibility in Project Hail Mary

Variety reports that James Ortiz, the puppeteer and voice behind Rocky in Amazon MGM’s Project Hail Mary, is eligible for Oscar consideration in Best Supporting Actor, with SAG-AFTRA confirming puppeteers count as actors. Golden Globes would exclude him, Critics Choice has no explicit disqualification, and BAFTA could nominate given their history with animated/voice performances. The piece uses Rocky’s case to spotlight the broader question of how to classify hybrid performances (puppetry/motion capture/voice) and argues the Academy should revive the Special Achievement Award or create a new category to honor such work, potentially reshaping how acting is defined in the awards landscape.
