Slow-moving western The Power of the Dog and sci-fi epic Dune lead the nominations for the 94th Academy Awards, with 12 and 10 nominations respectively.
The Power of the Dog's nominations were spread out through almost every big category. Jane Campion is up for best director, and is now the first woman to be nominated for that category twice, following her 1993 nod for The Piano. Star Benedict Cumberbatch is also up for best actor, while Jesse Plemons and Kodi Smit-McPhee are both nominated for best supporting actor. Kirsten Dunst is in the running for best supporting actress — her first Oscar nomination.
Dune also managed to score nominations in multiple categories, including best original score, best adapted screenplay, cinematography, costume design, production design and the night's top award: best picture.
Other best picture nominations went to Belfast, CODA, Don't Look Up, Drive My Car, King Richard, Licorice Pizza, Nightmare Alley, The Power of the Dog and West Side Story.
But even as Dune received accolades in other categories, Canadian director Denis Villeneuve was ignored for the best director. Outside of best picture, the film's nominations were in largely technical categories — including best sound, best costume design, best film editing and best makeup and hairstyling.
A surprising find among the best picture, meanwhile, was a nod for the lesser-known Nightmare Alley, which also grabbed a best costume nomination for Canadian Luis Sequeira.
Of the five Canadian short films to make the Oscars' long list, one — Affairs of the Art — made it through on Tuesday. The 16-minute animated short is by director Joanna Quinn and writer-producer Les Mills, and continues a series that began in 1987 with the film Girls Night Out.
Meanwhile, the pandemic's movie saviour, Spider-Man: No Way Home, only managed to snag a single nomination for best visual effects, despite gigantic box-office success and stellar reviews. Similarly, Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings — starring Canadian Simu Liu — earned a single nomination in the same category.
The Kristen Stewart-led Spencer is also up for only a single award (best actress, Stewart's first Oscar nomination), though that continues a surprising trend. While the Princess Diana biopic received early buzz and strong reviews at film festivals, it has been given comparatively little love in the awards circuit, with Stewart left off the SAG Awards nominee list earlier this year.
In another surprise, Tick Tick... Boom! — directed by Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda — was left out of the best picture category, despite its own strong reviews.
Elsewhere in the nomination list, Encanto continued its music dominance. With the film's songs — which were penned by Miranda — already dominating the music charts, the Oscars honoured it in the best animated feature film,original song and best original score categories.
The Oscar nominations were announced Tuesday morning by actors Tracee Ellis Ross and Leslie Jordan. The 94th Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, March 27 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, a return to their usual home after last year's pandemic switch-up. Ratings plummeted in 2021 to all-time lows, and organizers have yet to announce plans for this year's show — aside from the fact that it will have a host for the first time since 2018.
