The 2022 Oscars nominations have been announced, with The Power of the Dog — Jane Campion’s Netflix Western drama with Benedict Cumberbatch in the lead — leading the full list of nominees with a total of 12 nominations. It’s followed in second place (10 nominations) by Dune, the Denis Villeneuve adaptation of the 1965 sci-fi classic powered by a mighty ensemble of Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, and Zendaya. Steven Spielberg’s remake of the award-winning musical West Side Story, and Kenneth Branagh’s semi-autobiographical family drama Belfast are next with seven Oscars nominations apiece. The Will Smith-led King Richard — the story of how he brought up tennis legends Serena and Venus Williams — grabbed six nominations.
Leslie Jordan (Will & Grace) and Tracee Ellis Ross (black-ish) revealed the 2022 Oscars nominations on Tuesday morning from Los Angeles, with the help of “movie lovers” such as doctors, firefighters, and schoolchildren. The 94th Academy Awards — the proper official title of the 2022 Oscars — are set to take place March 27 in Los Angeles. Due to extended eligibility requirements for last year’s nominees, the 2022 Oscars are only looking at films released in the US over a nine-month period, from March 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021. And owing to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, movies that released only on streaming were once again eligible for the Oscars.
Here in India, the 2022 Oscars will be live streamed on the morning of March 28. An official broadcaster has yet to be finalised.
