2022 Academy Awards: Full nominee list led by Dune, The Power of the Dog

The Power of the Dog, Dune and Being the Ricardos top this year’s heavy-hitting nominees

Nominees for the 94th Academy Awards were finally unveiled on Tuesday morning. A star-studded list of films, actors and directors was led by two very different types of blockbusters.

More than a decade after her last film, New Zealand director Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog earned 12 nominations while Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Dune came in second with 10 nominations.

The Best Actor and Best Actress categories are once again filled with heavy hitters like Javier Bardem (Being the Ricardos), Denzel Washington (The Tragedy of Macbeth), Andrew Garfield (Tick, Tick…Boom!), Nicole Kidman (Being the Ricardos) and Olivia Colman (The Lost Daughter).

Here’s a look at the full list of nominees. The Academy Awards will air on Sunday, March 27 on ABC.

I rewatched the entire MCU to get ready for ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home.’ Here’s what I learned.

The MCU from Captain America: The First Avenger to Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Spider-Man: No Way Home swung into theaters Thursday night, giving movie fans a semblance of the experience from pre-pandemic times as raucous crowds cheered, cried, and clapped at each turn. This is the 27th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a behemoth that has spanned 13 years, multiple characters, and brought in over $23 billion worldwide.

In order to prepare for the third entry of this Spider-Man saga, I rewatched all 30 bits of content, starting with Captain America: The First Avenger and ending with the latest episode of the Hawkeye series on Disney+ before heading to a 6pm showing of No Way Home.

Here are some things I learned along the way, and if you want to see all my thoughts, check out the thread that starts here:

Every Spider-Man movie, ranked before ‘No Way Home’ hits theaters

The only ranking of Spider-Man you’ll ever need.

The latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe drops Thursday as they wrap Tom Holland’s seemingly first trilogy as the iconic Peter Parker in Spider-Man: No Way Home. When we last saw the webbed wonder, reporter J. Jonah Jameson outed Spider-Man’s identity, causing all sorts of problems.

Early returns have praised the flick, but you can rest assured that this is a spoiler-free zone for the new release. If you haven’t seen any of the other Spider-Man entries — and you don’t want them spoiled — bookmark this tab and take care of that before reading on.

Before Peter, MJ, Ned, and Doctor Strange are back on the big screen, I’m going to rank the previous seven installments of live-action Spider-Man  (meaning this list does not include the nearly flawless animated Into the Spiderverse) based on personal preference. Let’s get to it!
