The highly-awaited nominations list for the 94th Academy Awards was announced today via a livestream by Tracee Ellis Ross and Leslie Jordan. The winners for the coveted trophies will be announced on March 27 in Los Angeles. This year the Oscars will have a host for the first time since 2018. Kristen Stewart, Nicole Kidman, Jessica Chastain, Olivia Colman and Penelope Cruz bag nominations in the Best Actress Category while Javier Bardem, Andrew Garfield, Benerdict Cumberbatch, Will Smith and Denzel Washington have been nominated in the Best Actor category.
Tamil film Koozhangal, directed by PS Vinothra, was India's official entry for the Academy Awards 2022 but failed to make the shortlist. This year Suriya’s Jai Bhim and Mohanlal’s Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham were officially included in the 276 list of films eligible for the Oscars 2022 but much to the fans’ dismay failed to make it to the final list. Here’s the complete list of nominations:
