The 2022 Oscar nominations were revealed on Tuesday.
While waiting to discover, during the ceremony, organized on March 27 in Los Angeles, to which films, actors, actresses and other pros of the 7th art will turn the favors of the some 9,500 members of the Academy, here is what the we remember the announcement of the day.
The power of “The Power of The Dog”
With twelve quotes,
The Power of the Dog
, a feature film released on Netflix in December, is the one with the most nominations for the 2022 Oscars. , Best Actor (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Best Supporting Female (Kirsten Dunst) and Male (Jesse Plemons).
Its director, the New Zealander Jane Campion, makes history as the first woman to win two nominations for the Oscar for best director, twenty-eight years after
The Piano Lesson
.
The second most nominated film is
Dune
by Denis Villeneuve, with ten nominations, followed by
Belfast
by Kenneth Branagh and the
West Side Story
by Steven Spielberg, seven nominations each.
The weight of the platforms
Last year, at the Oscars, seven platform films accumulated 35 nominations.
The trend is growing this year: 44 nominations for 15 films.
Netflix is on a roll with twenty-three nominations (twelve for
The Power of The Dog
, four for
Don't Look Up
, three for
The Lost Daughter
, two for
Tick, tick…BOOM!,
while
The Hand of God
and
The Mitchells versus the Machines
are each cited once).
Apple TV+ has six (three for
The Tragedy of McBeth
and three for
Coda
), as many as HBO Max for
The Williams Method
– note that this film was also released in theaters in parallel - Amazon Prime Video five (three for
Being The Ricardos
, one for
A Prince in New York 2
, one for
Spencer
) and Disney + four (one for
Luca
, one for
Raya and the Last Dragon
and Two for
Cruella
which was released simultaneously with its theatrical release).
Don't Look Up
and
The Power of The Dog
, two Netflix productions, are in the running for the Oscar for best picture, as well as
Coda
, remake of
The Aries Family
(Apple TV +) and
The Williams Method
(HBO Max).
Another observation: platform films dominate the best actor and best actress categories.
For men Javier Bardem (
Being The Ricardos
/Amazon Prime Video), Benedict Cumberbatch (
The Power of the Dog
/Netflix), Andrew Garfield (
Tick, tick… BOOM!
/Netflix), Denzel Washington (
The Tragedy of Macbeth
/Apple TV ) and Will Smith (
The Williams Method
/ HBO Max).
Among women, Jessica Chastain (
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
) and Penelope Cruz (
Madres Paralelas
) are nominated for films theatrically released across the Atlantic, but Nicole Kidman (
Being The Ricardos
) and Kristen Stewart (
Spencer
) are for Amazon Prime Video productions.
Olivia Colman is for
The Lost Daughter
(Netflix).
Non-English speaking talents
The 2020 Oscars and the
Parasite
raid are still fresh in our memories.
This 100% South Korean production left Hollywood with four trophies, including Best Director, Best International Film and Best Original Screenplay.
It was above all the first time that a non-English-speaking work received the statuette for best film.
Drive My Car
Japanese Ryūsuke Hamaguchi, will he meet the same fate?
All hopes are allowed to him because he is nominated in four categories: best film, best director, best screenplay and best international film.
Several other non-English-speaking feature films are among the nominations while talents are nominated for performances in non-English speaking roles.
The Spaniard Penelope Cruz is thus in the race for the Oscar for best actress for
Madres Paralelas
by her compatriot Pedro Almodovar – note that her husband Javier Bardem is named among the best actors for his performance, in English, in
Being The Ricardos
.
Norwegian Joachim Trier's film,
Julie (in 12 Chapters)
has the right to a citation among the original screenplays, in addition to its nomination for best international film.
Writing With Fire
, in Hindi, can claim the trophy for best documentary, as is
Flee
, by Dane Jonas Poher Rasmussen, also in the running for the prize for best animated feature film.
Ridley Scott snubbed
Every year, it's the same thing: the announcement of Oscar nominations leads to its share of disappointments.
For this edition, if there is one who must have it across the throat, it is Ridley Scott.
Two of his films,
The Last Duel
and
House of Gucci
came out last year… They don't appear anywhere on the Oscars starting line.
The two feature films could have claimed nominations in the queen categories and in particular greeted with a nomination the actresses Jodie Comer for the first city and Lady Gaga for the second.
