The 2022 Oscar nominations are finally here.
Leslie Jordan and Tracee Ellis Ross are announcing this year’s Academy Award nominations on Tuesday in two parts — the first half begins at 5:18 a.m. PT and continues at 5:31 a.m. PT. Viewers around the world will be able to watch a live stream of the announcement on Oscars.com, Oscars.org and the Academy’s social media platforms.
Following Tuesday’s nominations, the 94th annual Academy Awards will be held late next month, on March 27, at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre. The in-person ceremony will be televised on ABC.
For the first time in three years, the Oscars will have a host in 2022, Craig Erwich, president of ABC Entertainment and Hulu Originals, announced in January. Variety later learned that multiple hosts will likely take the stage in March, however no official names have been decided on and/or released from the Academy yet.
Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune” is expected to lead the nominations. In addition to “Dune,” Kenneth Branagh’s “Belfast,” Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story,” Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog,” Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Licorice Pizza,” Reinaldo Marcus Green’s “King Richard,” Aaron Sorkin’s “Being the Ricardos,” Sian Heder’s “CODA,” Adam McKay’s “Don’t Look Up” and Guillermo del Toro’s “Nightmare Alley” are among the films that could nab best picture nominations. Villeneuve, Branagh, Spielberg, Campion and Anderson are expected to be in the running for best director. Meanwhile, Javier Bardem, Benedict Cumberbatch, Andrew Garfield, Will Smith and Denzel Washington are the frontrunners for best actor, and Olivia Colman, Penélope Cruz, Lady Gaga, Nicole Kidman and Kristen Stewart are the top contenders for best actress.
