The Oscars 2022 nominations are here. As expected, The Power of the Dog leads the way with 12 nominations, while Dune and Belfast are in hot pursuit with 10 and seven nominations, respectively.

More mainstream hits, such as Spider-Man: No Way Home and No Time to Die, also received some acclaim from the Academy. In the acting categories, the likes of Nicole Kidman, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Olivia Colman were all given nominations.

This year’s Best Picture field is now up to 10, with the frontrunners being The Power of the Dog and Belfast. Netflix also made the shortlist elsewhere with Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up, which, despite having a mixed initial reception, has been nominated for various categories. Dune also makes the list, though Denis Villeneuve (perhaps surprisingly) was left out of the Best Director picks.

There were history-makers in the field, too, with CODA’s Troy Kotsur becoming the second-ever Deaf actor to be nominated for an Oscar. Jane Campion also become the first woman ever to be nominated for Best Director twice, following The Piano.

Drive My Car has picked up speed this awards season to nab a few noms, with filmmaker Ryusuke Hamaguchi being named in the Best Director category. Many will also be pleased to see Kristen Stewart sneak into the Best Actress category for her turn as Princess Diana in Spencer after a relatively sparse pre-Oscars season.

Want to pick through the entire list, scowling at the snubs and fist-pumping the potential winners for the 94th Academy Awards? We’ve got the full rundown below, from every single category. First up, all 10 Best Picture nominations for this year.
