The very best films of 2022 have been chosen as the nominations for the 95th Oscar Academy Awards.
Today, the movie awards season has come into full blossom following the most recent Golden Globes. The live presentation from Hollywood unveiled the films being nominated for the 95th Oscar Academy Awards. The short show was hosted by Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal) and Allison Williams (M3GAN), and started at 8:30 a.m. ET/5:30 a.m. PT.
Some big nominee drops were dropped in the Academy Awards’ 23 categories. Based on the number of nominations per film, A24’s Everything Everywhere All At Once received the most, with 11 nominations. Following that box office hit, Netflix’s All Quiet On The Western Front and The Banshees of Inisherin held strong with 9 nominations a piece.
Surprisingly, the record-breaking sequel films—Avatar: The Way of Water (4 noms), Top Gun: Maverick (6 noms) and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (5 noms)—had a moderate showing on the nomination list. But recent years at the Oscars have proven that box office numbers had not been required to win Best Picture, as seen with CODA, Nomadland, and Parasite in each of their years.
Many of the big studios like Marvel Studios and Disney+ have already been tweeting about their successful films being nominated. This has been a big year in film as it was the first full year which saw audiences returning to see these cinematic films on the big screen.
This year has also shown off how streaming site-based films are becoming more prevalent at the Academy Awards. Disney+ was represented with Turning Red receiving one nomination, and Netflix has come up big with the war film All Quiet On The Western Front being nominated in many categories, alongside other great films like The Sea Beast and Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio.
The final voting was said to take place between March 2-7, in time for the live broadcast of the Academy Awards set for Sunday, March 12, at the Dolby Theater. The ceremony will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.
