Hollywood, CA (December 21, 2021)—The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences announced shortlists in 10 categories today, including Sound, Original Song and Original Score.
After merging the longstanding two sound categories together two years ago, the Academy has now instituted a shortlist format for voting, looking to winnow down the 10 possible films to a final list of five nominated films. Having already voted to determine the shortlist, Sound Branch members will be able watch film excerpts and interviews related to the shortlisted films, and then vote for the five final nominees starting January 27, 2022, with voting ending on February 1. The five contenders in the Sound category will be announced on February 8 with the rest of this year’s nominees.
