The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the 353 feature films eligible for the 2024 Academy Awards; of which 207 feature films are eligible for consideration in the Best Picture category, which has additional eligibility requirements beyond those for general entry.
To be eligible for consideration in the general entry categories, under rules implemented for the 97th Academy Awards year, feature films must open in a commercial motion picture theater in at least one of six U.S. metropolitan areas: Los Angeles County; the City of New York; the Bay Area; Chicago, Illinois; Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas; and Atlanta, Georgia, between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024, and complete a minimum qualifying run of seven consecutive days in the same venue. Feature films must have a running time of more than 40 minutes.
To be eligible for consideration in the Best Picture category for the 97th Academy Awards, films must be eligible for general entry and have submitted a confidential Academy Representation and Inclusion Standards (RAISE) entry form. They must have met two of the four standards required in addition to an expanded theatrical eligibility requirement, which includes a theatrical run of seven days, consecutive or non-consecutive, in 10 of the top 50 U.S. markets, no later than 45 days after the initial release in 2024. Eligibility in the Best Picture category is subject to change if late-in-the-year films do not complete the planned expanded theatrical run by January 24, 2025. A film’s distributor or producer had the option to opt out of Best Picture consideration.
Nominations for the 97th Academy Awards will be unveiled on Friday, January 17, 2025.
The 97th Oscars® will be held on Sunday, March 2, 2025, at the Dolby® Theatre at Ovation Hollywood and will be televised live on ABC, streamed live on Hulu and airs live in more than 200 territories worldwide
