The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences announced on Friday that the Best Picture category will be set at 10 nominees from the 94th Academy Awards (with the ceremony taking place in 2022) onward.
The Academy further announced that its Board of Governors has passed a resolution to amend the Academy’s bylaws.
The new rules for Best Picture are part of what the Academy revealed as the “next phase” of its equity and inclusion initiative.
The Academy initiated the changes in January 2016, with the intent to radically diversify its membership by this year.
