Oscars: Film Academy Confirms Names of “Missing” Nominees in Picture, Animated and Documentary Categories

When the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced its Oscar nominations on Jan. 22, it was surprising to see quite a few films nominated for best picture, best animated feature and best documentary feature listed alongside a mention that specific nominees were “still to be determined.”

In some cases, this was because the Producers Guild of America, to which the Academy defers on best picture nominee credits, had not yet determined which producers were awards-eligible. In other cases, contenders were simply late turning in their own paperwork.
