There are two submission deadlines for general entry/feature film, which are based on when a film is released. The Academy must receive both an Oscars Submission Form (OSF), signed by all credited producers, and a copy of the complete screen credits by Wednesday, Sept. 10, at 5 p.m. PT, for films released between Jan. 1 and June 30, and by Thursday, Nov. 13, by 5 p.m. PT, for films released between July 1 and Dec. 31.
Beginning this year, all credited individuals with a “producer” or “produced by” credit are required to sign the General Entry form to ensure that all parties are properly informed of the criteria and deadlines regarding the film’s eligibility and potential designated award recipients. (This follows an Oscar nominations announcement earlier this year in which the producing nominees for an unusually high number of nominees for best picture and best documentary feature had not yet been adjudicated.)
In addition, the following award categories have additional or separate entry requirements and deadlines: Animated feature film, animated short film, best picture, documentary feature film, documentary short film, international feature film, live action short film, music (original score, original song), visual effects.
