- Spain, Indonesia, Hungary, Nepal, and Israel are among countries that have submitted films for Oscar international feature consideration ahead of the Oct. 1 final deadline
- The Academy will announce a shortlist of 15 international films on Dec. 15, which voting members across all branches must watch before casting ballots
Why it matters: The Oct. 1 cutoff locks the field of contenders, and the Dec. 15 shortlist acts as the Academy's procedural gatekeeper — only 15 films make it past, and members in every branch must view all 15 before voting, compressing visibility for late-arriving campaigns.
