Shortlists for 12 Major Categories at the Oscars Revealed

We’re one step closer to knowing this year’s Oscar nominations.

On Tuesday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed its shortlists in 12 categories for this year’s Academy Awards. Wicked: For Good and Sinners lead the pack with seven spots on the shortlist, and are the only two films that made every single shortlist the films were eligible for. Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein was close behind with six.

The 12 categories include Animated Short Film, Casting, Cinematography, Documentary Feature Film, Documentary Short Film, International Feature Film, Live Action Short Film, Makeup and Hairstyling, Original Score, Original Song, Sound, and Visual Effects.

This year’s Oscar frontrunner One Battle After Another has five mentions on the series of shortlists, as do racing drama F1 and—very surprisingly—Sirât, Spain’s official entry for International Feature Film. For context, the only other international films out of the list of 15 to get even one more mention (outside of the list for International Film) were Sentimental Value, from renowned filmmaker Joachim Trier, and The Secret Agent, Kokuho, and Sound of Falling, all of which have big names attached.

The most surprising shortlist snub is Avatar: Fire and Ash, which did make the shortlist for Best Original Song thanks to Miley Cyrus but curiously did not make the shortlist for Cinematography. For more on this year’s Best Original Song race, click here.
