We are conducting a review of the campaign procedures around this year’s nominees, to ensure that no guidelines were violated, and to inform us whether changes to the guidelines may be needed in a new era of social media and digital communication. We have confidence in the integrity of our nomination and voting procedures, and support genuine grassroots campaigns for outstanding performances.”

All jokes aside, many people would be intrigued to see if any of the previous winners of the award would be changed or not, because every year a number of nominations, and winners are seen in the ceremony which questions the authenticity of the ceremony; while numerous celebrities have slammed the organization handing out their awards to projects which have been well marketed.
The 95th Academy Awards ceremony will be held on 12th March 2023.
