The nominees for the 2022 94th Academy Awards have been announced recognizing movies released in 2021. The event will be held in the Dolby Theatre at the Hollywood & Highland Center on Sunday, March 27, 2022.
Among some of the suprises are Jessica Chastain getting nominated for Actress in a Leading Role in The Eyes of Tammy Faye while Caitríona Balfe was snubbed for her role in Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast. Spider-Man: No Way Home, while being the box office smash of the year, only got one nomination (Best Visual Effects).
And, while the 25th James Bond film No Time To Die was nominated for a total of three Oscars it was surprise Linus Sandgren was not nominated for Best Cinematography (one of the reasons we ranked No Time To Die the Best 4k Blu-ray Release of 2021.
