Here Are Your 2022 Oscar Nominees

Shared from News

Fill your Letterboxd watchlist: Oscars season is officially here.

The nominations for the 2022 Academy Awards were announced today (February 8), and Jane Campion’s measured but smoldering western The Power of the Dog leads the pack with 12, the most of any film. Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic Dune — anchored by performances from Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya — received 10, while Steven Spielberg’s sweeping West Side Story update and Kenneth Branagh’s black-and-white reflection on his Irish childhood Belfast earned 7 each.

All four of those films are nominated for Best Picture, along with coming-of-age tale CODA, dark apocalypse comedy Don’t Look Up, storytelling drama Drive My Car, Williams family biopic King Richard, nostalgic jaunt Licorice Pizza, and noirish period piece Nightmare Alley.

Notably, Beyoncé earned her first nomination in the category of Best Original Song for “Be Alive,” from King Richard. In that same category, Billie Eilish and her brother/creative partner Finneas each earned their first noms as well for “No Time to Die” from the James Bond film of the same name.

In addition, this year’s field features a history-making moment for CODA‘s Troy Kotsur, the first deaf actor to receive an Oscar nomination. Real-life couple Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons, meanwhile, who appeared as a married couple in The Power of the Dog, each earned their first nominations as well. (Of course, likewise, shout out to married couple Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem for their respective nominations — hers for Parallel Mothers and his for Being the Ricardos.)

This is also the first Oscar nom for Kristen Stewart, whose performance as Diana, Princess of Wales in the maybe-horror, maybe-drama movie Spencer has been an awards-season favorite.

There’s a lot to unpack here, so take your time and review the full list of 202 Oscar nominees below. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go watch Drive My Car immediately.
