Oscar 2022 Nomination: The Power of the Dog Leads the List
Oscar 2022 nominations were announced yesterday and the internet is abuzz with the records it broke, the celebrities that got snubbed, and the diversity the nominee list lacked.
However, the Power of the Dog is getting all the attention for bagging as many as 12 nominations in the categories of Supporting Actress, Achievement in Sound, Original Score, Adapted Screenplay, Supporting Actor, Film Editing, Cinematography, Production Design, Best Actor, Director, and Best Picture.
The film’s director Jane Campion is truly climbing high in Hollywood. She has made history by becoming the first woman to be nominated more than once for best director. Campion had earlier bagged a nomination for “Paino” in 1994.
What’s more, the nomination list also marked a huge achievement for Steven Speilberg, the producer of the nominated "West Side Story". He, now, boasts the record of producing 11 films nominated for best picture at the Oscars.
