Oscars 2022: Full list of Academy Awards nominees including Dune, The Power of the Dog and Ciaran Hinds

The nominations for the 94th Academy Awards were revealed this afternoon by actors Tracee Ellis Ross and Leslie Jordan after months of speculation about who will – and won’t – make the cut.

As ever, the shortlists will be subject to fierce debate amongst film fans, as well as concerted promotion by those in the frame for a gong.

And following previous criticism of the awards, focus will be on how diverse the nominees are.

Here’s everything we learned from today's announcement, including a full list of nominees, below.

What films have received the most nominations?

Jane Campion's western The Power of the Dog, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, leads the pack with 12 nominations.

Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic Dune closely follows with 10 nods, while Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast and Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story are tied with seven each.

Nicole Kidman is favourite to win her second Best Actress Oscar after being nominated for 'Being The Ricardos'.

Are there any notable snubs?

The big loser is the divisive (to say the least) House of Gucci which failed to live up to initial hype – with Lady Gaga a particularly notable absence.

In the Best Picture category, Tick...Tick...Boom! would appear to be unlucky to miss out to the likes of King Richard, Drive My Car, and Don’t Look Up.

Meanwhile, nine-time nominated Bradley Cooper plays a major role in two of the Best Picture nominees – Licorice Pizza and Nightmare Alley – but has failed to convert either into a solo nomination.

New Zealand director Jane Campion is odds-on to take home the Best Director gong for western 'The Power of the Dog'.

And Denis Villeneuve missed out on an expected Best Director nod, beaten to the shortlist by the director of the favourite for Best International feature, Drive My Car’s Ryusuke Hamaguchi.

When will the winners be announced at the Oscars awards ceremony?

The 94th Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, March 27, live from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood at 5pm local time – meaning it will start at 1am UK time.

The host of the ceremony has yet to be announced and it is expected it will last around three hours.

The Oscars are usually screened live for UK viewers on Sky Cinema and Now TV.

Who are the favourites?

Jane Campion's Power of the Dog is favourite for both Best Picture and Best Director, although Belfast has some momentum and shouldn’t be discounted.

The Best Actor trophy seems destined to be claimed by Will Smith for King Richard, while Best Actress seem to be a three-way shootout between early favourite Kristen Stewart, Nicole Kidman and Olivia Coleman.

Kenneth Branagh should provide some British success in the Best Original Screenplay category.
