The 97th Academy Awards—currently scheduled for March 2nd, 2025—will honor movies released in 2024.
This market will close before nominations are announced on January 17th.
The current rules stipulate that 10 films will be nominated for Best Picture.
[01/13 update] The nomination reveal date was pushed to the 19th due to the LA fires, so I pushed back the market close date as well. It's possible the nominations get pushed back again.
@TheWabiSabi Even the original Inside Out wasn't nominated for best picture. (I think animated movies rarely are.)
@TimothyJohnson5c16 Yup, it's a small list: Beauty and the Beast, Up, and Toy Story 3.

I enjoyed Inside Out 2, but it's not at that level.
