Oscar 2022 nominations: The Power of the Dog leads the way

Oscar nominations for the 94th Academy Awards have been unveiled ahead of this year's ceremony.

Netflix's The Power of the Dog leads the way with 12 nominations, including Actor in a Leading Role for Benedict Cumberbatch, Best Picture and Directing for Jane Campion, as well as supporting nominations for Jesse Plemons, Kirsten Dunst and Kodi Smit-McPhee.

Dune follows closely with 10 nominations, including Best Picture, Writing (Adapted Screenplay) and Film Editing, while Belfast, West Side Story, King Richard, Don't Look Up, Nightmare Alley, CODA and Being the Ricardos all feature in the full list.

Marvel fans were hoping that Spider-Man: No Way Home could get some Oscar love, but it only ended up with a Visual Effects nomination.

This year's nominees were announced today (February 8) by Leslie Jordan and Tracee Ellis Ross in a two-part live stream. You can check out all the nominations in full below if you missed the announcement.
