Following \u201cindustry consultation,\u201d BAFTA has clarified its approach to AI and on Wednesday said its Awards are \u201cpresented annually to recognise, honour and reward individuals for outstanding human achievement in originating, shaping and realising the final artistic outcome, regardless of the tools used to bring this work to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWhere the use of generative AI or other digital tools is relevant to the consideration of films, BAFTA can request additional information.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201c[Artificial intelligence] is obviously evolving at a very fast pace,\u201d executive director of awards and content at BAFTA, Emma Baehr, told <em>The Hollywood Reporter <\/em>in a media briefing about the changes. \u201cWe\u2019re aware that AI and digital tools are used in some areas more than others. But we felt that it was very important that we expanded that and acknowledged that if anything comes up, we have the right to request further information because ultimately BAFTA is about recognizing human achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWhile things may change again next year, Baehr said the language used in the updated rulebook allows the film committee at BAFTA to \u201cdig into\u201d specific uses of AI ahead of the longlist and nominations announcements. There isn\u2019t a specific percentage or \u201cexact science\u201d that would rule out an AI-aided film from contention for a BAFTA, but Baehr maintains the focus is on human creativity.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFor example, <em>THR <\/em>asked, what would the 2027 approach be to Adrien Brody\u2019s BAFTA and Oscar-winning role in <em>The Brutalist<\/em>? (The actor was said to have used AI to help with his Hungarian accent in Brady Corbet\u2019s 2024 film.) Baehr responded: \u201c[The updates] would rule out an AI actor. It\u2019s going to be a human that collects a BAFTA. We\u2019re never going to allow an AI actor [to win a BAFTA]. But we never really comment on what\u2019s happened in the past because the rules are the rules for that year, and every year it changes. So Adrien Brody was eligible; he won. We celebrated that win, and that was within that year in that rulebook. So, as we said, AI is moving so fast, but we have to go back to what we\u2019ve already said about human creativity, and that is the essence of it. We want to celebrate that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWhen asked for confirmation that Norwood \u2014\u00a0the AI \u201cactor\u201d who last year plunged the industry into crisis around the ethicality of AI performers, and who is about to make her feature film debut \u2014\u00a0will not ever be eligible for a BAFTA, Baehr was firm: \u201cNo. No. That\u2019s not human.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=4041\">European Film Academy CEO and Greek New Wave Director Join Emily Watson on Sarajevo Jury<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tBaehr and Deirdre Hopkins, head of film at BAFTA, declined to comment on the possibility of one day introducing a craft category entirely devoted to AI-generated projects.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAmong other changes are BAFTA\u2019s expansion of the outstanding British film category, taking the longlist from 15 to 20 films to \u201cbetter showcase the depth and range of British filmmaking and create a wider pool of British titles for consideration.\u201d The category will retain 10 nominations, with five chosen by the membership vote and five by the nominating jury.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBAFTA is also broadening participation in the performance categories\u2019 voting process by inviting Casting Chapter members to vote alongside the Acting Chapter in the longlisting and nomination rounds. As part of the update, the longlisting jury will now select five performers on the longlist. These changes will bring \u201cadditional industry expertise to these categories and support wider recognition of acting talent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn other news, the children\u2019s &amp; family film category will be renamed family film, bringing the category title into \u201ccloser alignment with its focus on films that appeal across generations.\u201d The new name is said to better reflect the types of films eligible for consideration and provides greater clarity for entrants, voters and jurors, while the eligibility criteria and voting process remain unchanged.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tEntries for the 2027 BAFTA Film Awards are open from Wednesday, July 22. The longlist will be announced on Jan. 7, 2027, the nominations on Jan. 29, and the ceremony on Feb. 21.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=4039\">Mia Wasikowska, Catherine Denueve, Rupert Friend in 2026 Venice Days<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tilly Norwood will never be eligible for a BAFTA Film Award, the British Academy has confirmed, amid updates to its rulebook and voting processes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4043,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1849,2796,2,2797,98],"class_list":["post-4044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting","tag-bafta","tag-bafta-film-awards","tag-international","tag-tilly-norwood","tag-united-kingdom"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Could Tilly Norwood Ever Be Eligible for a BAFTA?
