About this year Oscars
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, writing and directing for Jane Campion, and in the crafts categories. Warner Bros/Legendary’s Dune, Denis Villeneuve epic remake of the sci-fi classic, scored 10 noms including Best Pic along with a sweep of the crafts lists.
In the Best Picture category, they are joined by upstart Drive My Car, Japan’s Oscar entry from Sideshow and Janus Films and 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: Focus Features’ Belfast, Apple Original Films’ CODA, Netflix’s Don’t Look Up, Warner Bros’ King Richard, MGM/UAR’s Licorice Pizza, Searchlight’s Nightmare Alley and Disney’s West Side Story, the latter of which scored a directing nom for Steven Spielberg among its seven this morning.
The expanded Best Picture category was instituted in part to make potential space for big tentpole successes like Spider-Man: No Way Home, or maybe even MGM/UAR’s James Bond pic No Time to Die. Neither broke through in the big categories this morning, with Sony’s Spider-Man landing a lone Visual Effects nom alongside fellow Marvel mate Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings from Disney. No Time to Die did get three total noms: VFX, Sound and for Billie Eilish’s Original Song.
The list makes it one of the most wide-open Best Pic races in a long time with a mix of box office hits and specialty fare, and with new blood in the acting categories it gives new zest to the race that might bode well for an Oscarcast that is attempting to overcome the least-watched Oscars ceremony just a year ago.
Among other notables this morning: Kristen Stewart landing a Best Actress nom for playing Princess Di in Spencer, with Jennifer Hudson left off that list for playing Aretha Franklin in Respect in a year when real-life portrayals on screen were prominent, like Will Smith and Aunjanue Ellis both scoring noms for playing Venus and Serena Williams’ parents in King Richard.
International titles made several inroads this year, with Denmark’s submission Flee from Neon and Participant 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.
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.
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.
