289 Films Qualify for Oscars (Updated With Complete List)

Number is a record for the last several years

The Academy has qualified 289 films for the 86th Academy Awards, AMPAS announced on Monday.

The number is a new high for the past five years, during which time the number of qualifying films hit 281 in 2008, fell to 248 two years later, and then climbed to 282 last year.

To qualify, a film must open as a commercial film in Los Angeles County during the calendar year, and run for a minimum of seven consecutive days.

Films must also have a running time of more than 40 minutes, and must be exhibited on 35mm or 70mm film, or in a qualifying digital format.

The list ranges from “Lone Survivor” to “The Lone Ranger,” from “Short Term 12” to “12 Years a Slave” to “12.12.12,” from “Escape Plan” to “Escape From Planet Earth” to “Escape From Tomorrow.” It does not include a few films, including the critical favorite “Upstream Color” and the much talked-about “The Canyons,” that received attention in 2013 but were released online before their theatrical debuts, or that did not meet other AMPAS requirements.
