Thursday, December 1, is the deadline to submit Official Screen Credits (OSC) forms to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for 89th Academy Awards consideration.
For a feature film to be considered for the 2016 Awards, the film’s distributor or producer must either send a scanned, signed copy of the OSC form and legal billing (complete onscreen credits) via the Dropbox link associated with the film’s online submission, or deliver a signed OSC form and legal billing to the Academy’s 8949 Wilshire Boulevard office. The deadline for submission by either method is 5 p.m. PT on December 1.
Feature films whose credits are received by December 1 have until midnight, December 31, to open in a qualifying commercial motion picture theater in Los Angeles County and begin a minimum run of seven consecutive days to be eligible for 2016 Awards consideration.
Feature films released in 2016 whose credits are not received by the December 1 deadline will not be eligible for Academy Awards in any year.
OSC forms are accessible online only, at http://submissions.oscars.org. Complete 89th Academy Awards rules can be found at www.oscars.org/oscars/rules-eligibility. For additional information about submission and feature film eligibility, contact submissions@oscars.org or 310-247-3000, ext. 2299.
