The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences released the award shortlists on its website.

Films listed are:

Bhutan, “The Monk and the Gun”
Armenia, “Amerikatsi”
Denmark, “The Promised Land”
France, “The Taste of Things”
Finland, “Fallen Leaves”
Germany, “The Teachers’ Lounge”
Iceland, “Godland”
Japan, “Perfect Days”
Italy, “Io Capitano”
Mexico, “Totem”
Morocco, “The Mother of All Lies”
Tunisia, “Four Daughters”
Spain, “Society of Snow”
Ukraine, “20 Days in Mariupol”
United Kingdom, “The Zone of Interest”

The 96th Oscars, which will take place on Sunday, March 10, 2024, will be aired live in more than 200 territories worldwide from the Dolby Theatre at Ovation, Hollywood.
