Films that screen at drive-in theaters will need to show only once a day, as opposed to three times a day for films that screen elsewhere.

It would have been hard to imagine a year ago, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voted on Tuesday that drive-in screenings will now count towards qualifying a film for the 93rd Oscars,has learned. For drive-in screenings, there will only be one screening per day required, as opposed to three for all others.

The move was part of a series of tweaks to Awards Rule Two regarding eligibility, following a first wave of COVID-related changes that were announced back in the spring in response to theater closures, the most notable of which was allowing films that were no longer able to proceed with a planned theatrical release to still qualify if they screened on a streaming or VOD platform first, provided they then screened on the Academy Screening Room members-only streaming service within 60 days...

2. Films may qualify with a traditional theatrical release, completing a seven-day run in one of six qualifying cities , screening at least three times daily, with at least one screening between 6 pm and 10 pm daily. Additionally, drive-in theaters in these cities will now qualify as a commercial venue, however, the screening requirement will be adjusted from three times daily to once daily.
