The upcoming 98th Oscars have a new set of rules and guidelines approved by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences on Monday announced that members will from now on be required to watch all nominated films in each category to be eligible to vote in the final round of Oscar voting. Up until now, Oscar voters had only been encouraged to watch the nominees, and vote in categories they felt qualified in.

"Academy members must now watch all nominated films in each category to be eligible to vote in the final round for the Oscars," the official press release stated. This rule was confirmed on Monday by the group's Board of Governors.
