There are 35 animated films, 86 international films and 201 documentaries competing in the 2025 Oscar races for Best Animated Feature, Best International Feature Film and Best Documentary Feature, the Academy announced on Friday.
In all three categories, Academy members are given lists of films that are required viewing, but are eligible to view and vote for films outside their lists as long as they see all of the required films. In the animated feature category, voters are assigned seven or eight films; in international, they’re given 12 or 13; and in documentary, they’re given 16 or 17.
In the International race, the list features several films that became Oscar favorites when they premiered in May at Cannes: Brazil’s “The Secret Agent,” Norway’s “Sentimental Value” and France’s “It Was Just an Accident,” which won the Palme d’Or for Iranian director Jafar Panahi.
Shortlist voting in the international and documentary categories will take place in early December, with 15-film shortlists announced on Dec. 16. Animated features move straight to the nomination round of voting, with the five finalists announced on Jan. 22.
