The Main Contenders These are the films that are the strongest contenders for major categories, particularly BP and BD, based on their critical and audience acclaim, and other factors. Films are listed in order of release date until final ranking is done in January. Stats updated 1/20
"Small" Films These are films that have good ratings, but their budget/box office/studio is small enough to seriously handicap them. This includes most films with box office less than $25m, well after release, that aren't expected to expand. If their box office reaches $25m or they start pulling in a lot of precursors they will be put in the main box again. These films are still contenders, and have a chance for smaller noms, but they have to hope that the higher-profile films fail to impress to get enough attention to be in serious play for major categories--something like wild card candidates in sports playoffs.
The Animated Race
The Also Rans These are the films with three or more strikes (the yellow highlighted items) against them, which basically takes them out of BP consideration, though they may have potential for other noms. Stats for these will be updated monthly. Stats updated : 12/16
