In a major shift for Oscar voting protocol, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced that members will now be required to confirm they've watched all nominated films in a category before being allowed to vote in that race.

The film academy also set down some rules for its new achievement in casting Oscar. After a preliminary round of voting to determine a shortlist of 10 films, members of the casting branch will be invited to a “bake-off” presentation from the shortlisted films, including a Q&A with nominees.

The upcoming 98th Oscars have a new set of rules and guidelines approved by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
