As we stand on the precipice of another movie-awards season, here are four crucial lessons to remember about the way the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) works now.
The New Rules of Oscars Season
You know the old rules of Oscars season: Never bet against a biopic, especially when there’s makeup involved. Twenty-something actresses can get nominated, but their male counterparts usually can’t. Children always run in Supporting, even when they’re the lead of the movie. But the past few years have brought critical changes to the Oscars ballot as well as hundreds of additional AMPAS members — and with this new Academy comes new rules. So, as we stand on the precipice of another awards season, here are four crucial lessons to remember about the way things work in the Oscars’ tenth decade.
1. The Best Ability Is Likability

We talk a lot about how AMPAS’s new international members are shaking up the Oscars race, but it bears repeating: Since 2019, every single Best Picture slate has included a non-English language film. (With the asterisk that 2021’s Minari was an American production.) In Best Director, auteurs like Paweł Pawlikowski and Thomas Vinterberg have been recognized even as their films missed Best Picture. Screenplay looks like the next place the international wave will break: Last season, both Drive My Car and The Worst Person in the World cracked the final five of their respective writing categories. The takeaway is that a well-regarded foreign film doesn’t just have to settle for a solitary Best International Film nomination anymore. They can compete all over the ballot, a development that makes every race more competitive and more surprising. Who, besides the actual worst person in the world, could argue against that?
