317 Films Qualify for the Oscars, But Only 201 Are Eligible for Best Picture

Three hundred seventeen films are eligible for this year’s Academy Awards, according to a list released on Thursday by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Of those, 201 are eligible in the Best Picture category, which carries its own set of eligibility requirements to ensure that films meet certain diversity standards.

The number is a slight drop from last year, when 323 films qualified for the Oscars and 207 were eligible for Best Picture.

The discrepancy between the 317 films eligible in general categories and the 201 eligible for Best Picture does not mean that 116 movies failed to meet the diversity standards in the Academy Representation and Inclusion Standards Entry (RAISE) form. In most cases, it indicates that filmmakers chose not to submit those forms to enter the Best Picture race.

Many of the films not eligible in the top category are documentaries, animated films, international or other movies with no real chance of a best-pic nomination.

The highest-profile film not to be eligible is the animated sensation “KPop Demon Hunters.” Others not on the Best Picture list include “Captain America: Brave New World,” “The Mastermind” and “A Private Life.”

The full reminder list of eligible productions is available at https://www.oscars.org/oscars/rules-eligibility. Here is the list of films competing in the Best Picture category.
