With the standard caveat that several Oscar contenders are ineligible by guild rules and some original screenplays were submitted as adapted, this list looks largely like the one we expect to see at the Oscars with Booksmart the only title that hasn’t been bandied about as a potential nominee.

Is there a list somewhere of the movies that were considered ineligible? I imagine Booksmart might be the default nominee here because Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was ineligible, but it does make me wonder what else was ineligible because those always tend to the the ones that sneak in to get that fifth nomination.

  It’s out there somewhere, but I cannot remember where. I know that Once Upon a Time… and Pain and Glory were both ineligible. I believe The Farewell was as well, but don’t hold me to that.
