From Kristen Stewart To Benedict Cumberbatch, Here's The Complete List Of The 2022 Academy Award Nominations
Award season is upon us. There has been a lot of speculation as to who will be nominated for an Academy Award this year (all eyes on Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana), and the wait is finally over. The full nomination list was released on February 8.
The wonderful world of film has changed quite a bit over the last two years. We don't rush to the movie theater anymore to catch the latest box office hit. In fact, most of the movies that are nominated for an Oscar this year were seen on a streaming platform rather than in theaters. But the Academy Awards will continue onwards as usual.
"Power of the Dog" and "Dune" Grab the Most Nominations
Netflix's Power of the Dog may not have been one of the most well-known releases of the last year (in fact, you may have not heard about it at all), but it has grabbed 12 Academy Award nominations this year, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Lead Actor. This Western film is set in Montana in 1925 and tells the story of an overbearing rancher whose toxic behavior comes to a head when his brother marries a new wife who already has a son. Benedict Cumberbatch, Jesse Plemons, and Kirsten Dunst co-star in this psychological thriller.
Second in line with 10 nominations is Dune, the popular sci-fi film based on the book series of the same name. Timothee Chalamet, Oscar Isaac, and Zendaya star in this movie that took the world by storm when it was released last year. However, Dune's director Denis Villeneuve wasn't granted the nod of Best Director nomination even though the film was thrown into the ring for Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Cinematography.
Kristen Stewart's Portrayal of Princess Diana Received a Nomination
Critics raved about Kristen Stewart's performance in Spencer as Princess Diana, and many wondered whether she would see an Oscar nomination for Best Lead Actress this year. She was indeed added to the list along with Jessica Chastain in The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Olivia Colman in The Lost Daughter, and Nicole Kidman in Being the Ricardos.
