Academy Awards 2022 nominations - list

The Academy Awards 2022 nominees were announced this morning! And there are a lot of surprises... from atrocious snubs (Villeneuve misses Best Director, Negga for Passing, Faist for West Side Story and no tick, tick... BOOM! for Best Picture), to inspired choices (Cruz in Best Actress, The Worst Person in the World lands a Best Original Screenplay nod or Drive My Car in Best Picture, Director and Best Adapted Screenplay), to some relief-snubs (Jared Leto misses Best Supporting Actor, no Sing 2 in Best Animated Feature or no House of Gucci, Being the Ricardos or Spider-Man: No Way Home in Best Picture).

The Power of the Dogs reigns supreme with 12 nominations, only followed by Dune with 10, which boosts Campion's movie's frontrunner title!
