Academy members selected the nominees in their respective branches, with the exception of the Animated Feature, Foreign Language Film and Makeup categories, where nominations were selected by vote of screening committees. All members select the Best Picture nominees. The secret ballots were mailed to 5,739 members in early January and were returned directly to PricewaterhouseCoopers for tabulation. Official screenings of all pictures with a nomination will begin this weekend for members at the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater. Screenings in special categories also will be held in London, New York and San Francisco. The Academy's entire active and life membership is eligible to select the winners in all categories, although in five of them -- the two short film, the two documentary and the foreign language film categories -- members can vote only after attesting they have seen all of the nominated films in those categories. Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2001 will be presented on Sunday, March 24, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland and televised live by the ABC Television Network beginning at 5:30 p.m. PST. A half-hour arrival segment will precede the presentation ceremony at 5 p.m. 74th Academy Award Nominees Performance by an actor in a leading role Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind (Universal and DreamWorks) Sean Penn in I Am Sam (New Line) Will Smith in Ali (Sony Pictures Releasing) Denzel Washington in Training Day (Warner Bros.)
