Oscar viewers baffled as ‘nominees to be determined’ receive most votes — here’s what it means

It was noted that the Academy had not yet determined the film producers who would be nominated alongside each title. “Guys paperwork, come on, come on, come on,” Sennott joked about the bizarre situation. Best Picture is generally awarded to the film’s producers provided they are found eligible by the Academy’s Producers Branch Executive Committee. Perhaps as a result of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, this process is still ongoing in some cases.
The Independent has contacted the Academy for comment. Netflix’s divisive crime thriller Emilia Pèrez, historical drama Nickel Boys, body horror The Substance, Brazilian drama I’m Still Here and Brady Corbet’s historical epic The Brutalist all had “nominees to be determined.”.
On X/Twitter, viewers joined in on the fun with one writing: “It’s a great year for nominees to be determined.”. “My feelings on the Oscar nominations? To be determined,” joked another. A third added: “As a nominee to be determined, i am so honored to have received 5 Oscar nominations for best picture. Thank you to the academy!!”.
“Congrats to ‘nominees to be determined’ for their multiple nods this year,” joked a fourth. The nominations were originally scheduled to be announced on January 17; however, they were delayed twice due to the ongoing LA fires. The 2025 Oscars are nevertheless expected to go ahead as planned at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre on March 2 at 7 p.m. EST.
