With the nominations announced for this year's Oscar awards, let's look at the biggest surprises and snubs from the 2022 Academy Award nominations.
With the nominations finally announced for the 94th Academy Awards, it's not only time to discuss who will win when the awards take place on March 27th, but also what nominations were a complete surprise, and what nominations were shockingly left out. As anticipated, The Power of the Dog dominated the nominations with 12, while Dune comes away with 10, with West Side Story and Belfast each earning 7 nominations.
Snub: Best Director: Denis Villeneuve - Dune With ten nominations, Dune seems like a shoo-in with many of the technical categories, and even made its way onto the list of Adapted Screenplay nominations. But despite being the second-most nominated film at the 2022 Academy Awards, one of the most expected nominations never came, as Denis Villeneuve was snubbed for Directing.
Surprise: Best Supporting Actress: Jessie Buckley - The Lost Daughter Actress in a Supporting Role was already a contentious category, Balfe in Belfast, Ruth Negga in Passing, Ann Dowd in Mass, and Kathryn Hunter in The Tragedy of Macbeth all worthy nominees that didn’t quite make the cut. But one pleasant surprise came in Jessie Buckley’s nomination in Maggie Gyllenhaal’s directorial debut, The Lost Daughter.
And while The Last Duel has received more attention now that it’s debuted on HBO Max, Scott’s film was also deserving of Oscar love.
Snub: Best Film Editing: Summer of Soul Considering that documentaries are largely put together in the editing room, it’s shocking how rarely documentaries ever appear in this category. The only documentary to get nominated in this category was 1994’s Hoop Dreams from Steve James, and it’s ridiculous that some of the most well-edited films of the year are rarely in consideration.
