Despite the pandemic maintaining its grip on day-to-day life for another year, 2021 still gave us plenty to be inspired by, including a vast assortment of cinema of the highest caliber.
On Tuesday, several of those entries were among those now set for Oscars glory, with a special announcement hosted by Tracee Ellis Ross and Leslie Jordan revealing this year’s nominees class.
Watch the unveiling of the 2022 Oscar nominations up top via YouTube. Below, see the full list of nominees. The 10 films up for Best Picture this year include Drive My Car, King Richard, Licorice Pizza, Dune, and more.
Meanwhile, the 94th Academy Awards ceremony is set to take place on March 27 on ABC. At the time of this writing, a host for the ceremony had not been announced, though ABC Entertainment President Craig Erwich previously confirmed that this year’s show will indeed (for the first time since 2018) have one.
