The best picture award, which is handed out to the producers of a film, is the one category every film academy member can vote for.
The Oscars are raising the inclusion bar for best picture nominees, starting with the 96th Academy Awards in 2024.
To be considered for best picture, films will have to meet two of the four new standards, the Academy said.
Films will submit confidential inclusion standards forms, but they will not be required for best picture hopefuls for the 94th and 95th Academy Awards.
