The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the shortlists for 12 categories for the 98th Oscars, including animated shorts, documentaries, international films, and technical categories, with nominations to be finalized in January 2026 and the awards ceremony scheduled for March 15, 2026.
The shortlists for the 2024 Oscars have been announced, highlighting the presence of international contenders beyond the Best International Feature Film category. Films like "Society of the Snow" from Spain and "The Zone of Interest" from Germany are gaining momentum as potential nominees. Several documentaries, including "Four Daughters" and "20 Days in Mariupol," also made it onto multiple shortlists. Notable omissions include certain songs from "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" and "Wonka," while the short film categories feature projects from Wes Anderson and Pedro Almodóvar. The final nominees will be determined by the international committee and the documentary branch, respectively.
The shortlists for 10 Oscar categories have been announced, revealing some interesting takeaways. The best original song shortlist is stacked with notable names like Billie Eilish, Finneas, Olivia Rodrigo, Jon Batiste, Dua Lipa, Mark Ronson, A$AP Rocky, Lenny Kravitz, and Halle Bailey. Netflix and Apple had a strong showing, with Netflix's "Society of the Snow" and Apple's "Killers of the Flower Moon" making multiple shortlists. Yorgos Lanthimos's "Poor Things" received recognition in three categories, while Japan and France's controversial international feature selections made the cut. Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" received the most shortlist mentions, but missed out on some expected categories. Best picture contenders hoping for VFX recognition were disappointed, and no songs from animated movies made the best original song shortlist.
