When Are the Academy Award Nominations Announced
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences typically announces nominations for the Oscars in early February. The exact date shifts slightly each year, but it usually falls within the first two weeks of the month. The ceremony itself follows several weeks later in late February or March.
How the Nomination Process Works
Members of the Academy vote to select nominees in each category. The voting process begins after the eligible films window closes. Academy rules define the window and submission deadlines, and the organization publishes the official timeline each year.
