Thanks to a quiet change in enforcement protocols, feature films entered in this year’s Academy Awards contest will be able to avoid reporting gender, race and disability data required by new inclusion standards governing Best Picture contenders simply by opting out of contention for the top Oscar.
The policy shift—which became apparent in recent changes to the “Frequently Asked Questions” addendum to the Academy’s Representation and Inclusion Standards Entry platform—could free dozens or even hundreds of films vying for Oscars other than Best Picture from a previously declared requirement all three hundred or so awards contenders submit identity data regardless of their Best Picture prospects.

The new answer says: “You will have the option to opt-in or opt-out for Best Picture consideration. If you do decide to opt-out, then you do not need to fill out a RAISE form.”
Academy officials had no comment on the change. But people familiar with the revision said the prior policy remained in force only through a two-year soft-rollout during which filmmakers were required to report on the platform, while the standards weren’t yet jenforced.
