With the recent release of the eligibility list, we’ve found several films on our contenders list that are no longer eligible for the Oscars. Below are some titles we’ll be removing entirely from the list. After that, some shortlisted films that aren’t eligible for other categories. I’ll also highlight the films that were not eligible for Best Picture, either because they didn’t meet inclusion requirements or refused to submit documentation prove them.
