Oscar voters warning: Ballots due today at 5pm pt – Deadline
By Pete Hammond Awards Columnist/Chief Film Critic
OK, Academy Members, time is up. Extensions are almost over, and this is your last warning to cast your Oscar nomination ballot before the final deadline at 5 p.m. PT today, January 17.
Due to the L.A. wildfires tragedy, the voting window has been extended twice. The original deadline was Sunday, January 12, and then was moved to Tuesday, January 14, and finally moved to today. In casual conversations, I have found voters who took advantage of those extensions and still might be waiting to vote before 5 p.m. today or, in all the confusion and concern over the fires, simply have other things on their minds. With other voting groups including BAFTA, PGA, WGA and ASC ultimately announcing their nominations this week, it became apparent that there would be no more Oscar delays.
The Academy also just released the schedule for the nominations announcement, which will start at 5:30 a.m. PT/8:30 a.m. ET on Thursday and will be split into two parts as usual. Originally planned with a live audience at Academy headquarters, it now will be done virtually.
