When it comes to selecting the nominees, all Academy members - which includes over "10,500 global film industry artists and leaders," according to Academy's website - are eligible to nominate films for best picture. However, for most of the other categories, Academy members will vote for nominees within their own field, such as acting, directing, editing and so on.
