Final ballots for the 77th Academy Awards were mailed on February 2 to the 5,808 voting members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Listed on the ballots are the nominees in 19 Oscar categories. Separate ballots for five award categories (foreign language film, short and feature-length documentaries and animated and live-action short films) will be distributed after verification of mandatory member attendance at screenings.

Completed ballots must be in the hands of PricewaterhouseCoopers by 5 pm, Tuesday, February 22. Any ballot received after this deadline is ineligible.

The auditing firm tabulates the votes and the winners' names are placed in sealed envelopes to be opened on Oscar Night, Sunday, February 27.
