The race to the 94th Oscars kicked into high gear Tuesday when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed nominations in a global livestream.
Netflix’s The Power of the Dog led the way with 12 nominations including all the acting categories including Best Picture, three acting categories and writing and directing for Jane Campion. Warner Bros’ Dune, Denis Villeneuve epic remake of the sci-fi classic, scored 10 noms including Best Pic.
In the Best Picture category, they are joined by upstart Drive My Car, Japan’s Oscar entry that also scored director and Adapted Screenplay noms along with its International Feature selection. Also on the list in the marquee category, which was expanded to a full 10 noms this year: CODA, Don’t Look Up, King Richard, Licorice Pizza, Nightmare Alley and West Side Story, the latter of which scored a directing nom for Steven Spielberg among its seven this morning.
International titles made several inroads this year, with Denmark’s submission Flee setting a record with nominations in three categories: International Feature, Documentary Feature and Animated Feature. Penélope Cruz landed a Best Actress nom in a a packed field for her latest collaboration with Pedro Almodóvar, Parallel Mothers. Norway’s The Worst Person in the World scored an International Feature nom plus an Original Screenplay mention.
With the nominations out, Academy members will begin final voting March 17 and wrap March 22. The Oscar ceremony is set for March 27 at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland, planned as an in-person event to air live on ABC.
Last year, Chloé Zhao’s Nomadland won Best Picture, capping a ceremony at Los Angeles’ Union Station that was limited in capacity because of the pandemic. The restrictions placed on studios and cinemas owing to Covid resulted in a record haul for Netflix (35 noms), as moviegoers not able to go to movies stayed home.
