Sennott and Yang announced the nominees in two groups starting at 5:30 a.m. PT, followed by the remaining categories at 5:41 a.m. PT.
Academy members from each of the 19 branches vote to determine the nominees in their respective categories – actors nominate actors, film editors nominate film editors, etc. In the Animated Feature Film, International Feature Film and Live Action Short Film categories, nominees are selected by a vote of members from all branches who opt in to participate. All voting members are eligible to select the Best Picture nominees. Members submitted ballots from 93 countries.
Animated Feature Film, Documentary Feature Film and Best Picture have film titles with nominees yet to be determined. Per the awards rules, to qualify as a producer nominee for a nominated picture, the producer must have been determined eligible for a Producers Guild of America award for the picture or have successfully appealed the Producers Guild of America’s refusal of such eligibility. The remaining designated Oscar nominees will be announced by early February.
Active members of the Academy are eligible to vote for the winners in all 23 categories beginning Tuesday, February 11, through Tuesday, February 18.
