BAFTA, AMPAS Eyeing Global Set of Diversity Standards for Awards Eligibility

The Academies on both sides of the Atlantic have been working closely together on the issue of diversity and could in the coming years introduce a global set of standards to be used across their film awards.

In a statement following the AMPAS announcement, BAFTA said that it welcomed the news, pointing out that it became the "first film awards organization to introduce diversity criteria," when it deployed the British Film Institute's Diversity Standards in 2018. These standards are now a requirement for eligibility for the British Film and Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer categories.
