Oscar categories: A Quick Takes item in the Nov. 23 Calendar section said film studios and producers decide which Academy Award category actors will be entered in. While they do suggest categories in ads, the decision is made solely by the individual members of the academy’s actors branch at the time that they fill out their ballots.
Unlike with the Academy Awards, for which the studios or producers decide what category an actor will enter, Hollywood Foreign Press officials make the decisions for the Globes.
Meanwhile, “Venus” and “The History Boys” were deemed to be dramas, so Peter O’Toole and Richard Griffiths are competing for lead actor nominations.
Nominations will be announced Dec. 14.
