A diversity survey will be mandatory for all members and is designed to help Bafta create a detailed breakdown of its membership.
In an attempt to “level the playing field”, Bafta will limit how much can be spent on each film’s campaign.
In total there are 120 changes to Bafta’s awards processes, with a commitment to introduce 1,000 new members from underrepresented backgrounds over the next two years that will add to its 6,700 membership.
Studios must now choose whether to nominate actors for lead or supporting awards – they can no longer apply for both.
