Award season is officially here, and the 95th Oscars nominations were revealed live from the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater. Oscar-winning actor-producer Riz Ahmed and actor Allison Williams announced the nominees competing in 23 categories.
Ahead of making the list public, Academy members from each of the 17 branches voted to determine the nominees in their respective categories – actors nominate actors, film editors nominate film editors, etc.
According to the Academy, nominees are selected by a vote of multi-branch screening committees in the Animated Feature Film and International Feature Film categories. All voting members are eligible to choose the Best Picture nominees.
This year, the active members ranked with the highest-ever voter participation in the organization’s history after submitting ballots from 80 countries. They are also eligible to vote for the winners in all 23 categories beginning Thursday, March 2, through Tuesday, March 7.
