For our January update, we’re closing in on the end and this will be our final update prior to the Oscar nominations. There are still several films that haven’t closed so are not currently at their end rating. There are a few more that have been removed and a few that are still stuck in stage 2 that haven’t been in release more than 30 days as yet (some just released on Christmas). As such, not all of these numbers will be perfect but here’s where things stand. We’ll have a closer look at the standings when it gets closer to the date of Oscar nominations.
Moving to Stage 2
Once all of the preliminary data has been received, a film moves to Stage 2. Here are the one who have done so this month.
La Grazia (Stage 2 of 5; Pending Eligibility)
Moving to Stage 3
