On Thursday (April 15), the motion picture academy turned on the website that allows its 9,362 members to cast their votes for the Oscars online. This marks the second year that balloting will only be done electronically. Until 2019, the academy had been willing to send paper ballots when requested by members.
The ballot covers all 23 competitive categories at the Academy Awards. Members are asked to rank the eight nominees for Best Picture and choose one nominee in each of the other 22 races (all of these now have five contenders as Makeup & Hairstyling finally expanded from three last year). While the Best Picture winner is chosen by a complicated counting method, the others are determined by a simple popular vote.
