The race to the 94th Oscars kick into high gear Tuesday when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences reveals nominations in a global live stream hosted by Leslie Jordan and Tracee Ellis Ross. The ceremony begins at 8:18 a.m. ET/5:18 a.m. PT.
After the nominations are revealed, Academy members begin final voting March 17 and wrap March 22. The Oscar ceremony is set for March 27 at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland, planned as an in-person event to air live on ABC.
Among the notable things to watch for this morning is the marquee Best Picture category, with a new rule taking effect this year that will result in a full 10 nominees; previously, the rule required a minimum of five noms and up to 10. The tweak could allow for a wider range of films to have a shot at the grand prize, namely tentpoles like the box office biggie Spider-Man: No Way Home, or maybe even No Time to Die — pics that may not have found a way into the race previously.
Last year, Chloé Zhao’s Nomadland won Best Picture, capping a ceremony at Los Angeles’ Union Station that was limited in capacity because of the pandemic. The restrictions placed on studios and cinemas resulted in a record haul for Netflix (35 noms), as moviegoers not able to go to movies stayed home. The major studios hope that also changes this year.
