Nominations for the 2022 Oscars: Who's in the running and who got snubbed?
This Oscar-nominated couple could make history...
The 2022 Oscar nominations are causing quite the stir, and the awards haven't even been given out yet! Among the surprises of the nominations are this couple: Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem. For the fourth time in the Academy Awards' history, two stars from the same couple are nominated at the same time.
Will they both win a second Oscar?
Javier Bardem has been nominated for his role in 'Being the Ricardos,' while Penélope Cruz got her nomination for 'Madres Paralelas' (Parellel Mothers). If they both win, it would be their second: Bardem previously won an Oscar for 'No Country for Old Men' and Cruz for 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona'.
Most nominated: 'The Power of the Dog'
The big favorite for the 94th Academy Awards is 'The Power of the Dog.' The winner of a Golden Globe for Best Film, this western has received twelve Oscar nominations and aims to win at least half of them.
'Dune': 10 nominations and one striking absence
Next in line is 'Dune,' which received ten nominations. Strangely enough, director by Denis Villeneuve did not get a nomination for his work.
Snubbed: Lady Gaga and Caitriona Balfe
Two leading actresses who seemed safe among bookmakers did not get a nomination. They are Lady Gaga (House of Gucci) and Caitriona Balfe (Belfast).
Leto's second will have to wait
Nor will a Jared Leto be eligible for his second Oscar. The actor, who won a first Academy Award in 2014 for his role in 'Dallas Buyers Club,' got both praise and scorn for his performance as Paolo in 'House of Gucci.' While the Oscar is not coming his way, Leto may get picked for the 'anti-award': a Razzie.
When are the Oscars awarded?
The Academy Awards' gala will take place on March 27. Click further to see who might win one of the coveted statuettes this year.
