The nominations for this year’s 94th Academy Awards arrived on a Tuesday, kick-starting what has been a sluggish Award season so far... Set to take place live at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, the Oscars 2022 will celebrate the biggest talents within the film industry. From big-budget studio epics like Belfast and West Side Story and sci-fi wonders like Dune to coming-of-age period pieces like Licorice Pizza and The Lost Daughter, and Netflix’s critically-acclaimed satire Don’t Look Up, here are all the films that made the cut this year.
