The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Monday announced rules and campaign regulations for the upcoming 98th Oscars, which will be held March 15, 2026.
Chief among the changes is a new procedural demand that voters must now watch all nominated films in each category in order to be eligible to vote in the final round.
How they expect members to prove they have watched is not spelled out in the AMPAS release today, but this is a key change in rules that never laid it out quite like this before.
Another — and welcome — key change is that all designated nominees will have their names included on the final ballot.
Previously (in many categories) it was just the name of the nominated movie, not the person nominated deadline.com/2025/04/oscars…
Meanwhile, category rules for eligibility and voting for the inaugural Academy Award for Achievement in Casting have been codified.
There will be a preliminary round of voting to determine a shortlist of 10 films, and prior to nominations voting Casting Directors Branch members will be invited to view a “bake-off” presentation of the shortlisted achievements including a Q&A with the designated nominees.
There still is no mention about where the inaugural Casting Oscar would be presented, whether on the Oscar show itself, during the Governors Awards, or at some other place tinyurl.com/4fksufku

SPOILER ALERT! This story contains details from the season one finale of Paradise on Hulu.
Here, creator Dan Fogelman talks about the origin of that episode title, why we felt confident about writing a cliffhanger for season one before he had a renewal from the streamer, and what to expect when season 2 drops sometime in 2026 tinyurl.com/4mds5jzv
DEADLINE: When you first embarked on this season, did you plan on including a cliffhanger before knowing you would get a season two?
FOGELMAN: I felt confident we were going to get a season two, though I’ve been confident before and gotten screwed by ending on a cliffhanger that never gets an answer. So it’s a very fair question. But I never really questioned that, honestly... My other hope was that it would feel like a great cliffhanger in that it asks a whole new set of questions tinyurl.com/4mds5jzv
