The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences established new rules stating that only human-performed roles and human-authored screenplays are eligible for Oscars. This follows the unveiling of an AI-rendered performance of the late Val Kilmer at CinemaCon. The film community remains divided on the ethics of using archival footage to recreate deceased stars for new productions.

The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards are analyzed for their heavy emphasis on diversity following the "Oscars So White" controversy. British actor Idris Elba, known for "The Wire," won two awards but "flubbed" a line by welcoming the audience to "Diverse TV" instead of "Diversity TV." The hosts mock the "snooty" nature of the awards show and the perceived over-correction by Hollywood regarding racial representation.
