The nominations are selected by a ballot of 6,000 members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. A total of 24 categories will be announced, including the best acting performances of the year and technical awards in areas such as editing, design and music. Nominations for this year's awards are being announced two weeks earlier than usual. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said the move would "provide members and the public a longer period of time to see the nominated films". The Bafta nominations were announced on Wednesday with Lincoln leading the way in 10 categories.
