Next month will see the announcement of the 2017 Oscar nominations but, before then, Academy members will have to whittle the Best Picture candidates down from a staggering 336.
As you can image, the full list of contenders - which appeared on the Oscars website on Wednesday (21 December) - features some awards favourites alongside some, er, not so impressive releases.
There's La La Land, Moonlight and Manchester by the Sea, all of which are doing well awards-wise, but it's safe to say that some films to feature on the list probably won't get mentioned next month. See: Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie, Bad Santa 2, Inferno, Storks and new release Passengers which has been getting a rough ride from critics following its release this week.
Films that are eligible for the Oscars must open in a commercial motion picture theatre in Los Angeles - with a minimum run of seven consecutive days - by the stroke of midnight on 31 December.
Academy rule state that a feature-length motion picture must have a running time of more than 40 minutes and must have been exhibited theatrically on 35mm or 70mm film or in a qualifying digital format.
You can find the full list here.
The nominations will be announced 24 Jan with the ceremony - presented by Jimmy Kimmel - taking place on 26 February.
