More on the Academy rules changes, per Deadline:
“In a sign that things are getting back to some degree of normalcy, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is returning to pre-pandemic rules of eligibility and no longer will allow its digital Screening Room as a way to qualify. Instead, it said that because theaters have reopened, the six qualifying U.S. metropolitan areas continue to be Los Angeles County, the City of New York, the Bay Area, Chicago, Miami and Atlanta, and rules apply to General Entry categories as well as the Documentary and Short Film categories. Feature films must have a seven-day theatrical run before exhibition in any other medium with specific requirements. Drive-ins remain eligible.
“The Academy also confirmed that eligibility for the 95th annual Academy Awards officially has returned to the calendar year, thus any feature film must have a qualifying release date between 1/1-12/31/22
“In Documentary, the two category names have been changed to Documentary Feature Film and Documentary Short Film.
“In Original Song, no more than 3 from any one film may be submitted.
“In the Sound category, producers will be required to make their films available for viewing by Sound Branch members, particularly when the release date is after the preliminary voting cycle opens.
“Any special circumstances requests regarding eligible nominees must be received by the General Entry deadline of November 15, 2022. Additionally, clips for the nominating screening (bake-off) shall not exceed 10 minutes of running time per title.
Submission deadlines:
Features (Documentary/International): 10/3
Shorts (Animated, Documentary, Live Action): 10/14
Original Score/Song: 11/1
Animated Feature/General Entry categories: 11/15
“Campaign regulations, which specify how companies and individuals may market to Academy members’ films and achievements eligible for the 95th Academy Awards, also were updated. Access to the Academy Screening Room will continue to be made available for all eligible releases.
“Digital links to materials will be permitted under certain circumstances. Film synopses no longer may contain credits, as film companies will now have the option to include credits on the Academy Screening Room prior to Nominations.”
The Academy just announced more rules for the next season.
So is Turning Red officially not eligible now as it went straight to streaming?
Maybe they can still release it later for qualification.
people should take audiances scores in RT more importantly POTD and licorice pizza 56 and 62 audiance scores in RT ) crashing in picture and screenplay further my point a divisive movie and divisive screenplay won’t win just saying especially if it’s competing against something that has board appeal , people should learn that : hablar con ella , her , green book , jojo rabbit and eternal sunchine won screenplay despite having less nominations because they have great audiences scores in rt which wasn’t the case for LP and TPOTD , you need to be loved more than being respected
IMDB score is better indicator than RT Audience score. Both have the same role but IMDB has much wider reach. CODA has 8, Dog has 6.9, Pizza 7.3.
RT was better indicator before the verified account nonsense.
well licorice pizza had the same imdb as belfast and yet it lost , Lp was so divisive but twitter didn’t want to admit that
well, one of 2 same rated movies had to win so it was Belfast. 🙂
Animation is looking STRONG this year; The Bad Guys, Turning Red, Minions: The Rise of Gru, DC League of SuperPets, Paws of Fury, now Luck.
Lol, you forgot Lightyear
Wishful thinking…
why people on their predictions don’t have a movie from focus features ? they are one of the best , they could get another screenplay win of james gray or todd Field just saying
Because they simply don’t have much that seems like an easy Oscar play. As much as people who mistake James Gray’s movies sounding vaguely like other Oscar friendly movies for James Gray being a filmmaker with Oscar potential, he’s just not the kind of filmmaker the Oscars usually go for (and based on rumors about test screening reactions, this film might not be notably different from his previous work). This is not to say that Gray isn’t a phenomenal filmmaker but that his style and interests are not particularly in line with what the Academy goes for. And with Field, while it’s a possibility of course, the topic can seem a little stiff for Oscar voters (what was the previous movie about a classical composer/conductor to really be a major Oscar contender) and considering for example the style of Field’s previous movie, I wouldn’t be particularly surprised if it’s stylistically pretty direct in a way that might drive people away
i mean i wouldn’t call usual suspects , american beauty , the crying game , the piano in the usual oscar fare
an autobiographical drama won screenplay if james gray autobiography turned out to be good it can win screenplay
Similar logic would have implied that since Ad Astra was phenomenal, there’s no particular reason why it wasn’t the new Gravity, that The Lost City of Z and The Immigrant, both of which were very good films, were shoe-ins because they’re period dramas which the Oscars love (The Lost City of Z is even a biopic), Two Lovers, which is incredible, would be at least an easy acting play as an interesting indie drama. Quality in and of itself is not the relevant factor here but whether quality will be presented in a package that works for the Academy. In comparison to the films you mention, what is notable each of those is that they are breakthrough movies, they are probably the first films by those directors and writers that people see. They are something new, and I think the Academy will bend a lot more if they consider something to be something they’ve never seen before from someone new. And James Gray distinctly is not the kind of filmmaker people like describing as “new”. I feel like people keep banging their heads against a wall reading the synopses for James Gray movies and going: “That sounds like something I’ll like” or “That sounds Oscar-friendly” no matter how many times they’ve tried and turned away in disgust. Gray is certainly not for everyone but I feel these premises mislead people to think that they’ll like the new one when they rarely do.
But I guess we’ll find out on Thursday.
Please, not yet. After the slap, a couple of “fucking mouth” comments, no response from anyone in charge as clearly no one was, a host feeling up a bunch of actors for Covid, the idiocy of watching Amy Schumer (otherwise one of the better things on the telecast) dangling from the air in a Spider-Man costume, a TV quality movie winning best picture, I’ve had enough for maybe a couple of years. It also was a bad year to start 10 nominees as there really were not 10 worthy of being nominated as there so many times are, but that wasn’t their fault. I sure hope they’ve changed producers.
Did they mention if the deadline to submit for International Feature would remain November 1st, or will it be back to October 1st?
help so another underdog will rise again
Why is this a help? Do you not like underdogs to rise up and win rightfully?
Remind me again, how did last year’s Oscars wind up? Ohhh, that’s right….
