The nominations for the 94th Academy Awards have just been announced. This year, Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog leads the group with a total of 12 nominations. Denis Villeneuve’s Dune was given 10 nominations, making it the second most nominated film on the list.
Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s Drive My Car made Oscar history by being the first Japanese film to receive a Best Picture nomination. It is nominated for three other awards: Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best International Feature Film. Many were surprised by Lady Gaga not receiving a Best Actress nomination for House of Gucci, but as was expected, Kristen Stewart received a nod for her performance as Princess Diana of Wales in the biopic Spencer.
The 94th Academy Awards, set to take place on March 27, will air live on ABC from the Dolby Theater. A host for this year’s awards ceremony has yet to be announced. View the nominations below.
