Do you mind reposting this in the Film Awards thread? It’s incredibly informative and useful!2022 Oscars Predictions: The Collective (Top Contenders In All Categories)
Changes to the previous post have either "NEW", "REMOVED" or "RE-ADDED" in front of each nominee.
Best picture
“Belfast” (Focus Features)
NEW “Don’t Look Up” (Netflix)
“Dune” (Warner Bros.)
“King Richard” (Warner Bros.)
“Licorice Pizza” (MGM/United Artists Releasing)
“The Power of the Dog” (Netflix)
“Tick, Tick…Boom!” (Netflix)
“The Tragedy of Macbeth”
NEW “West Side Story” (20th Century Studios)
Previous potential nominees (but no longer, apparently):
“Being the Ricardos” (Amazon Studios)
REMOVED “C’mon C’mon” (A24)
REMOVED “CODA” (Apple TV Plus)
Nightmare Alley
“Parallel Mothers”
Best director:
Kenneth Branagh “Belfast”
Jane Campion “The Power of the Dog”
Denis Villeneuve “Dune”
NEW Aaron Sorkin “Being the Ricardos”
Reinaldo Marcus Green for “King Richard”
Previous potential nominees (but no longer, apparently):
Pedro Almodóvar “Parallel Mothers”
Lin-Manuel Miranda “Tick, Tick…Boom!”
REMOVED Guillermo del Toro for “Nightmare Alley”
Interesting that West Side Story is being considered for best picture as a nominee...but not the director, any of the cast. And they didn't have a new song written for the movie for radio airplay and to get a possible additional award nomination? Or if there is a new song (or more) are they not good?
Best actor:
Benedict Cumberbatch - “The Power of the Dog”
NEW Leonardo DiCaprio “Don’t Look Up”
Andrew Garfield “Tick, Tick…Boom!”
Will Smith “King Richard”
Denzel Washington “The Tragedy of Macbeth”
Previous potential nominees (but no longer, apparently):
Peter Dinklage “Cyrano”
REMOVED Clifton Collins, Jr. for “Jockey”
Two African-American actors remain as possible nominees, but Hispanic actor Collins, Jr. has been moved off the potential nominee list.
Best actress:
Penélope Cruz “Parallel Mothers”
Olivia Colman “The Lost Daughter”
NEW Nicole Kidman “Being the Ricardos”
RE-ADDED Lady Gaga “House of Gucci”
Kristen Stewart “Spencer”
Previous potential nominees (but no longer, apparently):
REMOVED Frances McDormand for “The Tragedy of Macbeth”.
REMOVED Jessica Chastain “The Eyes of Tammy Faye”
#OscarSoWhiteStill? Was there no quality work of women this year? (Cruz notwithstanding.)
Best supporting actor:
Jamie Dornan for “Belfast”
NEW Jared Leto “House of Gucci”
NEW Ciarán Hinds “Belfast”
RE-ADDED J.K. Simmons “Being the Ricardos”
Jesse Plemons “The Power of the Dog”
Previous potential nominees (but no longer, apparently):
Andrew Garfield “The Eyes of Tammy Faye”
Corey Hawkins “The Tragedy of Macbeth”
Jeffrey Wright “The French Dispatch”
REMOVED Ben Affleck for “The Tender Bar”
REMOVED Willem Dafoe for “Nightmare Alley”
REMOVED Kodi Smit-McPhee for “The Power of the Dog”
Would be interesting if Dornan becomes a nominee after being in the Razzie-world of the 50 Shades of Grey movies. Plus the little I have seen of Leto's work in House Of Gucci, it looks very over-the-top and charicature-ish. Anyone who has seen this movie, what did you think of Leto's performance?
Best supporting actress:
Aunjanue Ellis for “King Richard"
Caitriona Balfe “Belfast”
Judi Dench “Belfast”
Kirsten Dunst “The Power of the Dog”
NEW Ruth Negga “Passing”
Previous potential nominees (but no longer, apparently):
Nina Arianda “Being the Ricardos”
REMOVED Ann Dowd “Mass”
I think if Ann Dowd remains as an also-run it might be like best actor nominee Clifton Collins Jr. who both appear in movies where their performances are getting buzz...but nothing else about the movie is.
Best Song:
“Down to Joy” – Van Morrison from the movie “Belfast”
“Every Letter” from the movie “Cyrano”
NEW “Don’t Look Up” (from the Netflix film of the same name, Arian Grande is one of the writers)
“The Harder They Fall” from the film of the same name by Kid Cudi, Jay-Z, Jeymes Samuel
“Be Alive” – Beyonce Knowles-Carter, Darius Scott from the movie “King Richard”
Previous potential nominees (but no longer, apparently):
“Unknown possible song” from “Dear Evan Hansen” (Universal Pictures)
“Unknown possible song” from “Encanto” (Walt Disney Pictures)
“Unknown possible song” from “House of Gucci” (MGM/United Artists Releasing)
“No Time to Die” from “No Time to Die” (United Artists Releasing)
“Unknown possible song” from “Tick, Tick…Boom!” (Netflix)
REMOVED “So May We Start” from the movie “Annette”
Nothing here has received any radio airplay/chart action. Did no movies this year have a hit song? (Was Billie Eilish's "No Time To Die" a hit...at one time??)
