On October 17, 2023, Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan were announced as executive producers, with Hamish Hamilton serving as director; Mullan is an executive of Hamilton's production company Done and Dusted.[2] On November 15, Jimmy Kimmel was announced as host, returning for the second consecutive year and fourth Academy Awards overall.[3]

On November 30, 2023, ABC and the Academy announced that the ceremony would be moved up by an hour to begin at 4:00 p.m. PT (7:00 p.m. ET), allowing a half-hour in primetime for a new episode of Abbott Elementary as a lead-out. With this change, the pre show will be shortened to a single half-hour.[6]

Diversity rules

This will be the first year that the diversity rules for the Best Picture category become mandatory. In June 2020, under its Academy Aperture 2025 initiative, the academy established a set of "representation and inclusion standards" that a film would be required to satisfy in order to compete in the category.[7] However, for the 94th and 95th Academy Awards (films released in 2021 and 2022), filmmakers were not required to fulfill the standards and only needed to submit a confidential "Academy Inclusion Standards" form for data purposes only.[8] There are four general standards, of which a film must satisfy two to be considered for Best Picture: (a) "on-screen representation, themes, and narratives"; (b) "creative leadership and project team"; (c) "industry access and opportunities"; and (d) "audience development".[7]

As explained by Alissa Wilkinson of Vox in 2020, the standards "basically break down into two big buckets: standards promoting more inclusive representation and standards promoting more inclusive employment".[8] The standards are intended to provide greater opportunities for employment, in cast, crew, studio apprenticeships and internships, and development, marketing, publicity, and distribution executives, among "underrepresented" racial and ethnic groups, women, LGBTQ+ people, and persons with cognitive or physical disabilities, or who are deaf or hard of hearing.[7]
