Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog leads the 2022 Academy Award nominations.

The Netflix Western received 12 nominations when they were announced by Tracee Ellis Ross and Leslie Jordan on Tuesday.

These include Best Picture, Best Actor for Benedict Cumberbatch, Best Supporting Actor for Kodi Smit-McPhee and Jesse Plemons, and Best Supporting Actress for Kirsten Dunst. Campion is the solo female nominee for Best Director and is also up for Best Adapted Screenplay.

The film is closely followed by sci-fi epic Dune with 10 nominations and Belfast and West Side Story with seven each. All three were nominated for Best Picture alongside CODA, King Richard, Don’t Look Up, Licorice Pizza, Drive My Car, and Nightmare Alley.

Lady Gaga was a surprising omission from the Best Actress category, which will be a competition between Kristen Stewart for Spencer, Nicole Kidman for Being the Ricardos, Olivia Colman for The Lost Daughter, Jessica Chastain for The Eyes of Tammy Faye, and Penelope Cruz for Parallel Mothers.

Cumberbatch will be competing against other awards season favourites for the Best Actor statuette. His fellow nominees include Will Smith for King Richard, Denzel Washington for The Tragedy of Macbeth, Andrew Garfield for tick, tick… BOOM!, and Javier Bardem for Being the Ricardos.

The 94th Academy Awards will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on 27 March.
