Oscar 2022: And the nominations are...

The Oscar fever is back with nominations for the 94th Academy Awards being announced on Tuesday. Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog, an intense western starring Benedict Cumberbatch, leads this year's Oscar nominations with 12.

It is closely followed by Dune, which has 10, and Belfast and West Side Story, which have seven each. Olivia Colman, Benedict Cumberbatch and Andrew Garfield are among the British acting nominees in the leading categories. Dame Judi Dench and Ciarán Hinds are nominated for supporting roles. Both appeared in Belfast, Sir Kenneth Branagh's autobiographical black-and-white film about a family in Northern Ireland during The Troubles.

Nominees were unveiled in all 23 categories, from best picture to best director, along with the acting categories and crafts categories including best sound, best production design, best makeup and hairstyling, and best visual effects. Leslie Jordan and Tracee Ellis Ross hosted the announcement.

Where and how to watch:

Leslie Jordan and Tracee Ellis Ross will host the announcement, which is being live streamed on Oscar.com and Oscars.org, as well as on the Academy’s digital platforms, including Twitter, YouTube and Facebook. The Oscars ceremony is scheduled to take place on 27 March at Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre.
