Every year, to make these material available on nominations announcement morning, the Academy asks each distribution company in advance to provide photographs and biographies or production notes for those achievements the company deems likely to be nominated.

If a photograph, biography or set of production notes is not a part of this online press kit, it is because the distribution company did not provide the Academy with the requested material.

We suggest you contact the distribution company for the missing materials.
