The nominations for the 94th Oscars were presented this morning by actors Tracee Ellis Ross and Leslie Jordan, and streamed live online and via television.
Disney projects nabbed nominations in just about every of the 23 categories, with 20th Century Studio’s “West Side Story” and Searchlight Pictures’ “Nightmare Alley” receiving the most.
“West Side Story” received 7 nominations, including Best Picture, Director, and Supporting Actress.
“Nightmare Alley” received four, including Best Picture, while “Encanto” received three, including Best Animated Feature Film.
Studio-wise 20th Century Studio and its independent arm Searchlight Pictures received 15 nominations for “West Side Story,” “Nightmare Alley,” “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” “Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised),” and “Free Guy,” which makes the Fox acquisition by Disney worth the money when it comes to awards.
Seven of the nominated films are available to stream now on Disney+ and Hulu.
For the Oscars, most categories are nominated by the members of the corresponding branch of eligible voters – actors nominate actors, etc. – but all members are eligible to select Best Picture and other film category nominees. All votes are tabulated by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
The 94th Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, March 27, 2022, at the Dolby Theatre at the Hollywood & Highland Center in Los Angeles. The award show will be televised live by ABC at 8pm ET/PT, as well as broadcast internationally.
