Academy Award nominee
An Academy Award nominee refers to a person or a work, such as a film, actor, or screenplay, that has been selected for consideration for an Oscar, which is a prestigious award presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Each year, the Academy recognizes outstanding achievements in the film industry through nominations in various categories, such as Best Picture or Best Actor. Being nominated is an acknowledgment of exceptional talent and creativity, although the ultimate winner is chosen from among the nominees during the annual awards ceremony.
