Nominations for Oscars 2022 announced: Here is the full list

Los Angeles: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Tuesday announced nominations for the 94th annual Academy Awards which included films in a range of genres.

"The Power of the Dog" led among nominated films with 12 nods. The drama's director, Jane Campion, made history by becoming the first woman to be nominated more than once for best director. The acclaimed New Zealand filmmaker was previously nominated for the 1993 drama, "The Piano" (Last year, "Nomadland" director Chloé Zhao became just the second woman to ever win the award.)

The nine other best picture contenders are "Belfast," "Coda," "Don't Look Up," "Drive My Car," "Dune," "King Richard," "Licorice Pizza," "Nightmare Alley," and "West Side Story."

Fellow directing nominee Steven Spielberg also set a new record. As the producer of "West Side Story," which earned a total of seven nominations, Spielberg has now produced 11 films nominated for best picture, a new record for the Oscars.

Denzel Washington extended the record he already holds as the most nominated Black actor, earning his tenth Oscar nomination for his performance in "The Tragedy of Macbeth." In addition, Will Smith scored his third lead actor Oscar nomination for "King Richard," a portrait of tennis stars Serena and Venus Williams's ambitious father. Smith was previously nominated for his roles in "Ali" and "The Pursuit of Happyness."

The other performers recognised in the Best Actor category are Javier Bardem ("Being the Ricardos"), Benedict Cumberbatch ("The Power of the Dog") and Andrew Garfield ("tick, tick...BOOM!").

The contenders vying for the best actress statuette are Jessica Chastain ("The Eyes of Tammy Faye"), Olivia Colman ("The Lost Daughter"), Penélope Cruz ("Parallel Mothers"), Nicole Kidman ("Being the Ricardos") and Kristen Stewart ("Spencer").

Netflix has conquered the world of streaming video but the company is still chasing Hollywood's most coveted prize: The best picture award. However, the streaming giant has a good shot to win this year with "The Power of the Dog. "The company also distributed fellow best picture nominee "Don't Look Up" as well as the Lin-Manuel Miranda-directed musical "tick, tick...BOOM!"

As the above-listed contenders woke up to some welcome news Tuesday morning, other hopefuls were not so fortunate. Notable Oscar snubs this year included:

Ridley Scott's "House of Gucci" which failed to earn a Best Picture nod along with stars Lady Gaga, Adam Driver and supporting player Jared Leto who were all locked out of the acting races — potential casualties of the film's mixed-to-negative reviews and so-so box-office performance.

"West Side Story" breakout star Rachel Zegler, who won a Golden Globe last month for her performance as María Vasquez, got shut out of the best actress category.

"Dune" director Denis Villeneuve, who was previously nominated for the sci-fi drama "Arrival" (2016), failed to pick up the best director nomination, although "Dune" racked up an impressive 10 nods.

Wes Anderson's "The French Dispatch," Rebecca Hall's "Passing" and Asghar Farhadi's "A Hero" — three of the year's most critically venerated films — walked away empty-handed. While Cooper Hoffman and Alana Haim, the two young stars of Paul Thomas Anderson's "Licorice Pizza" fell short of acting honors.

"Spider-Man: No Way Home" shattered box office records but failed to earn a nod for the Best Picture category.

The Academy Awards ceremony is set to air live from Hollywood's Dolby Theatre on ABC Sunday, March 27. See the list of nominees below.
