It requires its own employees to be vaccinated (with rare medical exemptions).As THR notes, the organisation is technically adhering to the latest minimum requirements from the Los Angeles Department of Health.

Other major award shows that precede the Oscars still require vaccination against COVID to attend.The publication added that some industry insiders have speculated that the Academy’s supposed protocol is to benefit a few high-profile industry figures, including some nominated actors who are set to attend this year’s ceremony.Nominations for this year’s Oscars were revealed earlier this week, with Jane Campion’s The Power Of The Dog and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune leading the nods.
