92nd Oscar Nominations

 

Actor-producer John Cho and producer-actress-writer Issa Rae announced the 92nd Oscars nominations today, live from the David Geffen Theater at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.

Academy members from each of the 17 branches vote to determine the nominees in their respective categories – actors nominate actors, film editors nominate film editors, etc. In the Animated Feature Film and International Feature Film categories, nominees are selected by a vote of multi-branch screening committees. All voting members are eligible to select the Best Picture nominees. There are 8,469 voting members of the Academy. The 92nd Oscars have 24 competition award categories, and last year 58 of the 13.5 ” goldern Oscar statutes were given out (multiple people can win in many of the categories).

The 92nd Oscars will be held on Sunday, February 9, 2020, at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood and televised live in more than 225 countries and territories worldwide.

This year the major Technical Oscars have been moved to mid-year, so there are no Scientific or Technical Oscar announcements.
