Oscar nominations won’t be announced until next month, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences released shortlists of potential nominees in nine categories Monday.
The shortlists will be winnowed by individual Academy branches to determine the nominees, which will be announced Jan. 13.
Fifteen films earned spots on the shortlist for original score, while 10 are still in the running for makeup and hairstyling. Fifteen songs are on the shortlist for best original song, with Disney’s “The Lion King,” earning two spots in the list — for Elton John’s “Never Too Late” and Beyonce’s “Spirit.”
