After the 2025 Oscar, a new rule has been introduced, which requires the members of the academy to watch all the enrolled films to watch all the nominated films to vote in the final round. The change comes after a dispute around the best leading actor category, which was awarded the Adrian Body.

The decision attracted attention when it was revealed that some voters believed that Ralph Fynena had already won the Oscars, which he had not done. As a result, he chose Body, not realizing that he had already won for the ‘pianoist’.

for reference, Diversity Reported in March: “Surprisingly, two separate voters who did not vote for Fynena said that they did not vote for them because they had won earlier.”

Actor Patrick Schwarzenegger, who was recently seen in ‘The White Lotus’ season three, also voiced his support and wrote, “Smart. I like that (SIC).”

The online response has been strong. On X, a user wrote, “How they were voting without watching all enrolled films (SICs).” Another said, “It was not already a rule? (SIC).”

Another user said, “Not surprised. Something was clear for me. It was very clear for me. And that is why the overall audience number has gone into S ** T. People watch these films, voters also need to watch films. It is very clear that they are not (SICs).”

Diversity It also stated that, “The polling process of the academy is now completely digital”, and it includes “two -furious certification – which means it is very difficult for someone to ‘hand over your ballot to another person.”

All this has expressed concern about the hard work of Oscar voters, with implications: These mistakes are not due to the process but for voters.
