Overview
- Best picture contenders had to submit a confidential RAISE form and satisfy at least two of four inclusion standards in addition to expanded theatrical runs.
- Several late-year releases remain provisional and could be removed if expanded engagements are not completed by Jan. 22.
- The gap between overall eligibility and best picture reflects opt-outs or non-submission of RAISE forms rather than automatic failure to meet standards.
- General-category eligibility required a seven-day commercial run in one of six U.S. metro areas and a running time over 40 minutes.
- Nominations voting runs Jan. 12–16, nominations are announced Jan. 22, and the March 15 ceremony at the Dolby Theatre will feature 24 categories with PwC tabulating secret online ballots.
