201 films eligible for Oscar Best Picture consideration: Here’s the list

LOS ANGELES – A total of 317 feature films are eligible for consideration for the 98th Academy Awards, including 201 that met the criteria for consideration for Best Picture, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Thursday.

The announcement comes on the heels of Sunday night’s Critics Choice Awards, where “One Battle After Another” won Best Picture and top acting honors, while films such as “Marty Supreme,” “Hamnet,” “Sinners” and “Frankenstein” also picked up major prizes, kicking off the Hollywood awards season.

All of those films are eligible for consideration in the Best Picture Oscar race.

To be eligible for consideration in the general entry categories, feature films must open in a commercial motion picture theater in at least one of six US metropolitan areas — Los Angeles County; the city of New York; the Bay Area; Chicago, Illinois; Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas; and Atlanta, Georgia, between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31 of 2025, and run for at least seven consecutive days in the same venue. The films must be more than 40 minutes long.

Qualifying for the best picture category, films must be eligible for the general categories and producers must submit an Academy Representation and Inclusion Standards form. They also must complete an expanded theatrical release standard, including a run of at least seven days in 10 of the top 50 U.S. markets, no later than 45 days after their initial release in 2025.

Academy members will vote on nominations Monday through Friday.

Nominations will be announced Jan. 22.

The Academy Awards will be presented March 15 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
