If fans want to watch every film that’s under consideration for a Best Picture Oscar, they better get started now!
On Thursday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed a list of 276 films that are in the running for the 94th Oscars. This year’s ceremony will take place on Sunday, March 27 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. Fans can watch the ceremony live on ABC.
As reported by Deadline, there were 366 films nominated last year, but this year’s eligibility has been shortened to ten months, which explains the decrease in eligible films.
To be eligible for a Best Picture nomination, films must submit a confidential Academy Representation and Inclusion Standards entry. Voting begins next week – on Thursday, January 27, and will conclude on Tuesday, February 1. The Oscar nominations will be revealed one week later, on Tuesday, February 8.
