In timpul transmisiei in direct au fost anuntate ca deobicei cele mai importante 10 categorii, restul fiind publicate la scurt timp dupa terminarea ceremoniei pe site-ul oficial al premiilor.

Este pentru prima data in istoria ultimilor ani cand la categoria "Cel mai bun film" sunt nominalizate zece filme.
