The Oscars for Best Sound, Best Original Score and Best Song became part of the “Shortlist” process this year; voters will get to winnow the field down from 10 potential nominees in Sound and 15 each in Score and Song.
Members of the individual branches in the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences will be voting based a “Shortlist” of nominees in the categories Best Sound (10 nominees), Best Original Score (15 nominees) and Best Original Song (15 nominees). Those Shortlist finalists were announced on December 21, and on January 27 will be voted on by Academy members when Final Nominations Voting opens.
In the meantime, don’t forget these important dates coming up for nominations and voting in multiple categories for the Oscars, MPSE Golden Reel Awards and Cinema Audio Society Awards
