‘Licorice Pizza’, ‘Dune’, ‘No Time To Die’ Among Nominees For 2022 Oscars

The nominations for the 2022 Oscars have just been announced – you can scroll down to read the full list of nominees.

The 94th Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, March 27 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, and the ceremony will have a host this year for the first time since 2017.

Jimmy Kimmel hosted the show that year, while Kevin Hart was due to oversee the ceremony the following year but dropped out after a number of past homophobic tweets resurfaced. Since then, the Oscars have gone hostless each year, with rotations of presenters instead.

Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog and Dune, directed by Denis Villeneuve, are expected to win big this year as they lead the nominations – with Belfast and Guillermo Del Toro’s Nightmare Alley also earning a few nods.
