Oscar Nominations 2022 – The Full List
Your 2022 Oscar nominations have arrived. Tracee Ellis Ross and Leslie Jordan announced the nominations for the 94th annual Academy Awards on Tuesday morning. The ceremony arrives on March 27 and will be broadcast from Hollywood’s Dolby Theater. It’ll be an in-person ceremony, and, for the first time in three years, this year’s Oscars will indeed have a host. Or, possibly, multiple hosts. We’re still waiting to find out who will be MC’ing the ceremony, and we’ll let you know when we do.
A glance at some of the nominees is in order. The Best Picture category includes Denis Villeneuve’s sci-epic Dune, Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story, Paul Thomas Anderson’s Licorice Pizza, and Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog. In fact, Campion’s The Power of the Dog leads all films with 12 nominations, including best director for Campion and acting noms for all three of its stars—Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemmons, and Kodi Smit-McPhee. Speaking of actors, the Best Actor and Actress nominees include Denzel Washington for The Tragedy of Macbeth, Will Smith for King Richard, Kristen Stewart for Spencer, Penélope Cruz for Parallel Mothers, and Olivia Colman for The Lost Daughter.
Dune is the second most nominated film, with 10 in total, while West Side Story nabbed seven and King Richard six.
