The prestigious Oscars Awards ceremony, where the best films and actors of Hollywood are honored, has seen significant rule changes this year. Let's take a closer look at these new regulations.

The 96th Academy Awards took place on March 10 at the grand ceremony held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, where Oppenheimer won 7 awards and made a mark on the Oscars.

Renowned actress Emma Stone, starring in Yorgos Lantimos' film "Poor Things," claimed her second Oscar award under his direction.

New rules have been introduced for the upcoming Oscars awards, set to be held on March 2 next year. Here are the key rules:

Drive-in theaters will no longer be recognized as eligible venues for films to be nominated for an Oscar.

Films must adhere to screening rules in cinemas across the United States to be considered for the Best Picture category, including specific cities and duration of screenings.

In the Original Song category, up to three composers contributing to a film's music can now individually receive an Oscar statuette.

For a film to qualify for an Oscar, it must submit the Academy's Representation and Inclusion Standards Entry (RAISE) form and meet at least two of the four standards.

Animated films qualifying for the Best International Feature Film category will also be evaluated as Best Animated Feature if they meet the criteria for both categories.

A feature film must be released in cinemas between January 1 and December 31, 2024, to be eligible for consideration at the Academy Awards.
