Films Eligible for Best Picture

Post by Big Magilla »

The full list from The Wrap is attached. It's too long to copy and paste here.

This was the overall statement:

There are 321 films that have qualified for the 2023 Academy Awards, with 265 of those films also eligible in the Best Picture category, the Academy announced on Monday morning.

The discrepancy between films that have qualified for the top category and films that are eligible in other categories comes because of new eligibility rules that require Best Picture candidates to meet additional benchmarks for diversity and inclusion. This is the first year that those Representation and Inclusion Standards (RAISE) have been enforced, though they did not appear to disqualify any serious contenders in the category.
Films that qualified for the Oscars but are not eligible for Best Picture include "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," "The Creator," "Dumb Money," "The Marvels" and "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour." Absence from the Best Picture list does not necessarily mean that a film failed to meet the RAISE standards, because that application is voluntary and films can opt out of Best Picture consideration.
Other films that aren't on the qualifying list for Best Picture include a handful of documentaries ("20 Days in Mariupol," "Common Ground," "Going to Mars: The Nikki Giovanni Project"), animated features ("Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia," "Monkey King," "They Shot the Piano Player") and international films ("Concrete Utopia," "Godland").

The 321 eligible films are the most since the 2020 Oscars, when 366 films qualified under COVID-era rules that relaxed the theatrical requirement and made it easier to qualify. Since then, 276 films qualified in 2021 and 301 in 2022.
