When you find me, directed by Twilight star Bryce Dallas Howard and executive-produced by her father Ron Howard, is among 11 films shortlisted for possible Oscars nomination, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said Thursday.
Though the Academy typically only shortlists 10 entries, a tie in the nominations balloting resulted in an 11th title making the list. In all, 125 films originally qualified in the category.
From here, members of the Academy's Short Films and Feature Animation Branch will select three to five nominees for the Oscars during December screenings in Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco. Nominations will be announced Jan. 10, with the Academy Awards taking place Feb. 24.
