The Plaid Silhouette: Award Race Calendar 2017

On Thursday (Jan. 5), academy members begin casting their Oscar nomination ballots. They only have nine days to decide on their picks for best pic as well as their favorite achievements in their respective branches. During that time, we’ll hear from the producers, directors, cinematographers, costume designers, makeup artists & hairstylists, sound mixers and visual effects wizards as to their top choices. Before Oscar balloting began, the film editors, casting directors and writers unveiled their slate of contenders while the art directors did on the first day of voting.

The Australian version of the academy held its international awards in Los Angeles on Friday (Jan. 6) while the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. will hand out the Golden Globe winners this Sunday (Jan. 8). And the British academy will unveil their roster of BAFTA nominees on Jan. 10.
