Wednesday, Dec. 2, is the deadline to submit Official Screen Credits (OSC) forms to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for 88th Academy Awards® consideration.
For a feature film to be eligible, the film’s distributor or producer must complete the OSC form at submissions.oscars.org, sign the hard copy, then mail or deliver it along with the film’s legal billing to the Academy’s 8949 Wilshire Boulevard headquarters.
Alternatively, the signed form and billing may be scanned and e-mailed to submissions@oscars.org.
The deadline for submission by either method is 5 p.m. PT on Dec. 2.
If a feature film is released in Los Angeles County in 2015 and the completed OSC form and billing are not delivered by the deadline, the film will not be eligible for Academy Awards consideration in any year.
While the credits submission deadline is Dec. 2, feature films have until midnight, Dec. 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 2015 Oscars®.
Complete 88th Academy Awards rules can be found at oscars.org/oscars/rules-eligibility.
