Your support makes all the difference.Next month will see the announcement of the 2017 Oscar nominations but, before then, Academy members will have to whittle the Best Picture candidates down from a staggering 336.
As you can image, the full list of contenders - which appeared on the Oscars website on Wednesday (21 December) - features some awards favourites alongside some, er, not so impressive releases.
There's La La Land, Moonlight and Manchester by the Sea, all of which are doing well awards-wise, but it's safe to say that some films to feature on the list probably won't get mentioned next month. See: Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie, Bad Santa 2, Inferno, Storks and new release Passengers which has been getting a rough ride from critics following its release this week.
Films that are eligible for the Oscars must open in a commercial motion picture theatre in Los Angeles - with a minimum run of seven consecutive days - by the stroke of midnight on 31 December.
Academy rule state that a feature-length motion picture must have a running time of more than 40 minutes and must have been exhibited theatrically on 35mm or 70mm film or in a qualifying digital format.
You can find the full list here.
The nominations will be announced 24 Jan with the ceremony - presented by Jimmy Kimmel - taking place on 26 February.
