Nov. 13, 2025, 5:00 PM ESTBy Rebecca KeeganOscar voters are getting some extra homework this awards season.An email obtained by NBC News shows how Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences members must confirm that they have watched all the movies nominated in each category in order to be allowed to vote. The email, which has not previously been made public, provided guidance on what steps the more than 10,000 voting academy members need to take ahead of the final Oscar ballot deadline March 5. The academy has long required members who vote in certain preliminary rounds, such as those who determine the short list for international films, to confirm that they have watched a group of assigned movies. In April, it revised that policy to note that academy members must watch every Oscar-nominated film in order to vote. The email appears to be the first time the organization is offering detailed information on how the new rule will be enforced. To be eligible to vote, members must watch all five films in each Oscar category and all 10 in the best picture category, the academy said. “You do not need to save movie stubs, tickets or receipts,” the academy wrote in its Oct. 30 email to its voting members. “This is an honor system.”A screenshot from the email sent to academy members Oct. 30.Obtained by NBC NewsWith the new policy, films that members watch on the Academy Screening Room (ASR), a streaming service run by the academy, will be automatically verified. For films that members watch elsewhere, such as at film festivals, private for-your-consideration events or a local multiplex, they must manually mark it “watched” on the streaming service, member website or academy app. “Keep an eye out for eligibility notifications prior to finals voting,” the academy said in its email. “Members will be notified of the categories in which they still need to watch films to be eligible to vote.”While largely applauding the intent of the new policy, three academy members, who declined to speak on the record to maintain professional relationships within the organization, pointed out that it will be difficult to police. Members can start a movie on the streaming service, for instance, but that doesn’t mean they’re actually watching it.The academy declined to comment. Partly the new rule’s timing reflects an evolution in how Oscar voters watch the nominated films. In 2019, the academy made its best picture nominees available on Academy Screening Room, and now the organization has its own data about who is — and isn’t — watching the nominees there. Academy members will be shown when they are eligible to vote in categories and how many films they have left to watch.Obtained by NBC NewsThe idea behind the new rule is to curtail a phenomenon in which academy members who are fans of certain films vote for it in every category on the ballot, regardless of whether they have seen all the other films in those categories. For example, Neon’s “Anora” swept the award show this year, taking home wins in five categories including best picture, best director for Sean Baker and best actress for Mikey Madison. But it’s unclear whether the people who voted for “Anora” multiple times watched other, less buzzy contenders, such as Amazon MGM’s “Nickel Boys,” which was nominated in the best picture and adapted screenplay categories, or Sony Pictures Classics’ “I’m Still Here,” which won international feature and was nominated in best actress for Brazil’s Fernanda Torres.The academy also made several other changes around the Oscars, including the introduction of a new award for achievement in casting, which will be given out in 2026, and an award for achievement in stunt design, which will be handed out for the first time in 2028.The Oscar nominations will be announced Jan. 26, and the 98th annual Academy Awards will take place March 15. Conan O’Brien, who hosted 2025’s ceremony, will return to the Oscars stage next year.Rebecca KeeganRebecca Keegan is the senior Hollywood reporter for NBC News Digital, where she covers the entertainment industry.

Oct. 15, 2025, 5:26 PM EDT / Updated Oct. 15, 2025, 8:15 PM EDTBy Alexandra MarquezZohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee in the New York mayoral race, said Wednesday that it was “too early” to give President Donald Trump credit for negotiating a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, saying he would be willing to do so if the ceasefire is “lasting” and “durable.””When it comes to the ceasefire, I am thankful, and I have hope that it will actually endure and that it will be lasting,” Mamdani told Fox News’ Martha MacCallum.Asked by MacCallum about whether he credits Trump, whose administration negotiated the first phase of the peace plan with Israel and Hamas, Mamdani said, “I think it’s too early to do so.””If it proves to be something that is lasting, something that is durable, then I think that that is where you give credit,” he said.Anna Kelly, a spokesperson for the White House, said Wednesday night that “even Barack Hussein Obama and top Democrats have praised President Trump for his historic peace deal that received overwhelming support from Israelis and Arab leaders alike. The Little Communist clearly isn’t ready for prime-time.”Mamdani, who won the Democratic primary for mayor in June, beating almost a dozen other Democratic candidates — including former Gov. Andrew Cuomo — has come under scrutiny for his views on Israel and the Middle East.He has long supported recognizing the state of Palestine and labeled the war in Gaza a “genocide,” and he received criticism from his opponents and Jewish groups earlier when he initially declined to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” in a podcast interview.Inside UNICEF’s aid operation in Gaza after the ceasefire05:11In June, Mamdani told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that it was “not language that I use” and that “I don’t believe that the role of the mayor is to police speech.”Weeks later, The New York Times reported that Mamdani told business leaders that he would “discourage” others from using the phrase. In Wednesday’s Fox News interview, Mamdani said that he was still skeptical that the peace deal would last, citing reports that Israeli soldiers killed five Palestinians in Gaza on Tuesday.”I continue to have concerns, because I’ve seen reports still, just in the last few days, that five Palestinians were killed by the Israeli military. And that’s what gives me pause about issuing any kind of praise or celebration at a moment when it is still in its infancy,” Mamdani told MacCallum.He also responded to the news that Hamas, which, as part of the peace deal, agreed to return living and deceased hostages taken in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, returned a body that was not that of one of the hostages.“I think those are bodies or remains that should absolutely be returned. And I think that I have no issue critiquing Hamas or the Israeli government because my critiques all come from a place of universal human rights,” Mamdani said.Several of the families of deceased hostages called this week for an “immediate suspension” of the ceasefire agreement when just four of 28 deceased hostages were initially returned to Israel.Trump traveled to Israel this week to oversee the implementation of the first phase of the peace deal and speak before the Israeli Knesset.Mamdani on Wednesday also reiterated his long-stated position about whether he would arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is under an arrest warrant that has been imposed by the International Criminal Court. “This is a city that believes in international law,” he said, adding, “I believe that we should uphold arrest warrants by the International Criminal Court.”Mamdani added that he wouldn’t create legislation to uphold an international arrest warrant and that he would “exhaust every legal option in front of me” to arrest people under warrants only if they visited New York City.Alexandra MarquezAlexandra Marquez is a politics reporter for NBC News.
