The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has implemented new rules for Oscar voting, aimed at ensuring a more informed decision-making process. Historically, members were asked to refrain from voting in categories they hadn't fully watched, operating on an honor system. Now, the Academy's updated e-voting system will prevent members from voting in any category unless they have verified watching all the nominated works. This change emphasizes the importance of informed voting and strives to enhance the integrity of the awards.
