Ballots must be returned to PricewaterhouseCoopers by 5 p.m. Feb. 22.
The ballots include nominees in 19 categories. Separate ballots for the categories of documentary feature, documentary short subject, foreign language film, animated short film and live action short film will be mailed separately after verification the members attended mandatory screenings.
Once the ballots arrive at PricewaterhouseCoopers, they're kept under lock and key. It's a three-day process of tabulating the results and only two people, Bradley Oltmanns and Rick Rosas, will know the identities of the Oscar winners before they are announced during the live ceremony on Sunday, Feb. 27.
The stars giving out the awards don't get their hands on the envelopes until right before they walk out on stage.
This marks the 77th year PricewaterhouseCoopers, or PwC, has handled the tabulation of /*Oscar ballots*/.
