The Oscar nominees for the 94th Academy Awards were announced on Tuesday morning, with Tracee Ellis Ross and Leslie Jordan unveiling the list of movies scoring nods across 23 categories. Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog, the Netflix Western featuring Benedict Cumberbatch, Jesse Plemons, Kirsten Dunst, and Kodi Smit-McPhee, led the pack with 12 nominations. Campion also became the first woman in Oscar history to be nominated twice for Best Director (1994's The Piano).

Denis Villeneuve's Dune followed with 10 nominations, including for Best Picture (but not one for Best Director!). Steven Spielberg's West Side Story and Kenneth Branagh's Belfast were each nominated for seven categories. Denzel Washington received his tenth Academy Award nomination for his leading performance in The Tragedy of Macbeth, extending his record as the most-nominated Black actor in Oscars history. And CODA's Troy Kotsur became the first deaf male actor to earn an Oscar nomination.
