Academy ends nominee screenings as attendance sharply falls
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will discontinue post-nomination screenings for the 2026 Oscars due to low attendance. This change, driven by the popularity of the members-only Academy Screening Room, shifts viewing to a digital platform. Members must now watch all nominated films via the Screening Room app to vote, a rule expanded from previous years.
