265 Films Eligible for Best Picture at 2023 Academy Awards

New diversity and inclusion rules result in fewer films qualifying for Best Picture category.

321 films have qualified for the 2023 Academy Awards, with 265 of those films also eligible in the Best Picture category.
The discrepancy between total qualified films and those eligible for Best Picture is due to new eligibility rules that require Best Picture candidates to meet additional benchmarks for diversity and inclusion.
This is the first year that the Representation and Inclusion Standards (RAISE) have been enforced.
Films that qualified for the Oscars but are not eligible for Best Picture include “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” “The Creator,” “Dumb Money,” “The Marvels” and “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.”
Nomination voting begins on Thursday, January 11 and will conclude on Tuesday, January 16. The 2024 Oscar nominations will be announced on Tuesday, January 23.
