Oscar 2022 nominations announced

The 94th Academy Award nominees have been officially revealed

The 2022 Oscar nominations are in and films like "The Power of the Dog" and "Dune" earned top honors in a year that’s seen a partial return to normalcy following the COVID-19 pandemic wreaking havoc on the film industry. 

The 94th Academy Awards invited Tracee Ellis Ross and Leslie Jordan to appear virtually from different locations on Tuesday where they announced all 23 categories voted on by the organization’s members. The duo was joined by special guests such as a collection of 11 medical professionals from Michigan, members of the FDNY, Phylicia Rashad as well as WWE superstar Titus O’Neil who each highlighted a different aspect of this year’s theme, "movie lovers unite." 

This year, the academy has yet to map out plans for its show, except that it will include a host for the first time since 2018. For better or worse, the Academy Awards will also be without its usual lead-in. The Golden Globes in January were an untelevised non-event after NBC said it wouldn't air them in 2022 while the beleaguered Hollywood Foreign Press reformed itself after ethics and diversity criticism.

Other changes were more subtle but potentially impactful. For the first time, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences ruled out hard-copy DVD screeners for its members, who instead could watch submissions on the academy's streaming platform.
