Oscar Nominations 2022: The Full List of Nominees
The Academy Awards are back in full swing for 2022. The award show follows last year’s ceremony, which was held at a socially distanced venue and at a later date than usual due to COVID. The films this year to chose from have been fantastic, as the Oscar nominations race has been one of the most closely watched in recent memory.
From big-budget studio epics like Dune and West Side Story to beloved arthouse flicks like Licorice Pizza and The Lost Daughter—and a handful of critically-acclaimed outliers including Drive My Car and Pedro Almodóvar’s Parallel Mothers—these are all the films to keep your eye on as awards season kicks into high gear.
