I know this is a film forum but does anyone has some predictions for the new television categories for this year ceremony. Back in September it was announced the addition of five new categories: Best New Scripted Series, Best New Non-Scripted or Documentary Series, Best Male Performance, Best Female Performance, and Best Ensemble Cast but I don’t know who could compete.

A member told me the opposite – it’s not eligible for consideration due to its budget.

How? The budget was between 10-20 million.

I imagine it’s like The Favourite in the sense that it is too foreign to compete in any category outside of International.

Only in the Best International Feature category. Only american movies are elegible in the other categories.

It's about the chaotic editing in Moulin Rouge!

Elle had an American attached to the movie. Not sure in what way. Foreign Language movies can compete in the above the line categories as long as they have Americans involved in it. Like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

The writer of Elle is american. They have some rules which indicate what’s foreign and what’s not, it’s on their website. If the movie has an american writer or director they consider it to be american as well.

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’s budget on Wikipedia shows between 20 and 30 million, so I’m guessing it’ll be deemed ineligible here.

Per Gregory Ellwood from The Playlist, Ma Rainey is eligible so its budget must be under 22M.

That Robert Altman Award is going to be very competitive.
