A movie to be nominated for an Oscar criteria set by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences must meet. To apply for an Oscar nomination, the film must first in Hollywood be in theaters for at least one week required.

Also, the movie at least 40 minutes must have time. (There are exceptional branches such as short films and documentaries.) Finally, it must have been released between the dates determined by the Academy. (before 31 December) And 35 or 70mm film or a similar digital format.

That’s why I think it’s important.
