Doom prevails with the Oscars for 2022 from the moment the nominations were announced, as apart from the pleasant surprises and the films that are rightfully in the favorites, the absences were quite resounding.
In fact, many of the absences provoked reactions on social media, such as that of Lady Gaga for the role of Patrizia Reggiani in the House of Gucci.
The 94th Academy Awards will be held on Sunday, March 27 at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
Nominations with numbers:
With 12 nominations, “The Power of the Dog” by Jane Campion leads the Oscar race.
They are followed by “Dune” by Denny Villeneuve with 10 nominations, “Belfast” by Kenneth Branagh with 7, while 7 nominations were scored by “West Side Story” by Steven Spielberg.
“The Williams Method” won 6 nominations (with Will Smith vigorously claiming the First Men), while “Do not look up”, “The Path of Lost Souls” and “Drive my Car” won 4 nominations. candidacies.
Kenneth Branagh’s record:
Kenneth Branagh broke the Oscar record by being nominated in 7 different categories in his career.
Kenneth Branagh with this year’s nominations (three in total: film, directing, screenplay) for “Belfast” becomes the only one in Oscar history to have been nominated for seven different Oscars in history.
In particular, he has been nominated for Oscars for Best Picture (“Belfast”), Best Director (“Henry V” in 1989, “Belfast”), Best Actor (“Henry V” in 1989), Second Actor (“My Week With Marilyn “in 2011), Best Original Screenplay (” Belfast “), Best Adapted Screenplay (” Hamlet “in 1996), Best Short Film – Fiction (” Swan Song “) in 1992.
The favorite who writes history:
Jonas Poer Rasmussen’s “Flee” from Denmark is the first film to be nominated for an Oscar for Best International Film, Best Animated Film and Best Documentary.
Top 10 Best Movies:
Rarely has the Academy managed to come down with 10 nominations. Vacancies are usually left. This year, however, they were all completed.
The resounding absences:
Movies without directors
The big problem at the Oscars has always been that you can not nominate 10 films and then only 5 directors. Because of this, Guillermo Del Toro and Denny Villeneuve were left out, as well as Maggie Gyllenhaal who would bring a nice balance to the boys’ club.
Neither Leonardo nor Bradley
Leonardo DiCaprio was again ignored in the Men’s top five (“Don’t look up”), as well as Bradley Cooper for “The Path of Lost Souls”. Cooper was also a favorite to be in the Second Male Role for his sweeping passage in “Pizza Licorice” by Paul Thomas Anderson.
Tragedy of Macbeth
Danzel Washington may have been recognized by claiming the First Man for “Tragedy of Macbeth”, but his co-star Frances McDormand was left out of the race.
“Being the Ricardos”
The award-winning screenwriter and director also did not hear his name for “Being the Ricardos”.
“House of Gucci”… without Gaga
One of the absences that provoked reactions on social media was that of Lady Gaga for her role as Patrizia Reggiani in the House of Gucci. Her fans are furious, as the film is a candidate but the protagonist was left out.
Apart from Gaga, however, neither Jared Leto was nominated for a supporting role, who was transformed once again for the film.
Movies that were left out
“Respect” was one of the films that was considered to be nominated and was eventually left out.
Also, “The Tender Bar” by George Clooney with the great artistic comeback by Ben Affleck.
Other films that left questions in their absence: The Green Knight by David Lowery, The French Dispatch by Wes Anderson, The Harder They Fall (Netflix) by Jeymes Samuel, but also The Last Duel by Ridley Scott.
