Los Angeles, Nov. 22 -- The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has unveiled the full roster of films eligible for the 2026 Oscars in three major categories, documentary feature, international feature, and animated feature, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
This year, 201 documentary features, 86 international submissions, and 35 animated films have qualified, with the documentary count marking one of the highest in recent years, second only to the pandemic-era peak of 238 titles.
The documentary lineup includes several early awards-season standouts, such as Netflix's The Perfect Neighbor and Apocalypse in the Tropics, Apple's Come See Me in the Good Light, and Neon's Orwell: 2 2=5.
