The Academy says its new standards are 'designed to encourage equitable representation on and off screen in order to better reflect the diversity of the movie-going audience.' (2/4)
In order to be eligible, a film must meet inclusion standards by fulfilling two of the following four criteria:
'On screen representation, themes, and narratives'
'Creative leadership and project team'
'Industry access and opportunities'
'Audience development'
