The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announces a partnership with Letterboxd, a global social network for film discussion and discovery.  The Academy and Letterboxd will collaborate on exclusive digital content connected to the Oscars.®

The collaboration begins with the Nominees Luncheon and features nominees reading the best Letterboxd reviews of their films.  Letterboxd also will host nominees on "The Letterboxd Show" podcast throughout the awards season and present an Oscars-themed series of Showdowns, including the Best Picture Showdown, launched today. 

95th Oscars® Nominations Announced

The partnership also kicks off with the creation of the Academy's HQ account, which features complete lists of 95th Oscar® nominees in all categories, with more lists to come, along with editorial content highlighting Oscars history and Oscar-winning filmmakers, and content curated from the Academy Film Archive and Margaret Herrick Library's vast collections.

"The Academy is thrilled to partner with Letterboxd, which is home to millions of passionate and engaged film fans around the world.  As the Academy looks to reach a more global and diverse audience of movie lovers, Letterboxd is a perfect partner.  We look forward to being a part of this dynamic community," said Academy Senior Director, Digital Marketing Courtney Rodriguez.
