Oscars Nominations 2022: Netflix Maintains its Lead, MCU Gets Some Nods
Contrary to last year, this year’s Oscars will be hosted in-person at the Dolby Theatre theater on March 27th and will be aired live on ABC. The nominations for this year’s movies have been released today in an event hosted by Tracee Ellis Ross and Leslie Jordan. The Livestream can be found here or down below
Something different about the Oscars this year is that a new rule is taking place which will see a full 10 nominations for the Best Picture category. Previously, the rule was a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 10 nominations. This new rule makes it possible for box office big grosser Spiderman: No Way Home to stand a chance at a nomination.
Last year, Eternals director Chloe Zhao won the best picture with her film Nomandland. Due to covid last year, studios had smaller nominations than the previous years which saw Netflix amass a whopping 35 nominations.
Below is a list of films, actors, directors, and crew nominated for an Oscar.
