Oscar Nominations: The Complete List
Nominations for the 94th Academy Awards were announced early Tuesday morning, and Western drama The Power of the Dog led this year's race with 12 nominations, including nods for Best Actor (Benedict Cumberbatch), Best Directing (Jane Campion) and Best Picture. Real-life couple and former Fargo co-stars Jesse Plemons (Landry!) and Kirsten Dunst also picked up nominations for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress, respectively.
Also hitting double digits was sci-fi epic Dune, which walked away with 10 total nominations, Best Picture among them. Though Steven Spielberg's remake of West Side Story did collect seven nods, it won't break the record currently held by its 1961 predecessor; with 10 Oscars, the original West Side Story remains the musical film with the most Academy Award wins ever.
Lady Gaga was among this year's notable snubs, failing to earn kudos for her turn in House of Gucci. And despite the A-list cast of Adam McKay's Don't Look Up — which is up for Best Picture — no one from that stacked ensemble made an appearance in the acting categories.
The 2022 Oscars will air from Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre on Sunday, March 27 at 8/7c on ABC — and they will have a host for the first time in four years, per ABC Entertainment boss Craig Erwich. Last year, ABC's presentation of the Oscars — which earned a "D" from TVLine, and a rare average of "F" from our readers — averaged 10.4 million total viewers and a 2.1 demo rating, down 56 and 60 percent from the 2020 numbers to mark brand-new all-time lows.
