The international entries tie the record for eligible films, but the other two categories are well short of the records in those categories
Twenty-six films have qualified for the Oscar race for Best Animated Feature,93 are eligible for Best International Feature Film and 138 have qualified for Best Documentary Feature, the Academy announced on Monday. TheWrap first announced the lists of qualifying films in the international and documentary categories. The 26 animated entries are shy of the record 32 films that qualified in 2019, but are easily enough to give the category a full slate of five nominees. The 93 international films tie the record for the most ever in that category, with the same number qualifying last year. And the 138 documentaries is a full 100 films short of the record 238 docs that were eligible last year. In all three categories, some of the listed films have yet to receive a qualifying release, and must meet that requirement to continue in the race. Shortlist voting in the international and documentary categories will begin on Friday and run through Dec.15, with 15-film shortlists in those categories announced on Dec.21.
