There are 54 nominated films in 23 categories at this year's Oscars so we decided to rank them all.
This Sunday, the Academy Awards will present awards to the best in film from 2022 in 23 categories ranging from Best Documentary Short to Best Picture. This year's nominees are an impressive batch, from the bombastic nature of Everything Everywhere All at Once, the engrossing animated short My Year of Dicks, the shocking documentary Navalny, to some questionable choices that have left Oscar fans scratching their heads.
Don’t get me wrong, Brendan Fraser and Hong Chau deserve their nominations in The Whale, as they’re the shining lights in Darren Aronofsky’s two-hour slog through mean-spirited manipulation and abuse. Aronofsky has always been a provocateur with his films, but he goes too far with The Whale, a simplistic gimmick that spouts bile at its audience and hopes they’ll see the beauty underneath.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever marks the first time that an MCU film has received an Oscar nomination in an acting category, and it's no wonder why, considering Angela Bassett is remarkable as Queen Ramonda in Marvel's conclusion to Phase Four. A major part of why that performance works is because of Wakanda Forever's exploration of loss in the wake of the death of T'Challa, who was played by Chadwick Boseman.
Almost certainly this year’s Best Picture winner, Everything Everywhere All at Once is deserving of the title, an absolutely unhinged story about the possibilities that life throws at us that is a truly unique vision unlike any other. Directors Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan find the heart in all this madness and create a film about family and choices that almost doesn’t feel like it should be real.
When talking about Top Gun: Maverick, it's hard not to sound hyperbolic, but this long-in-the-works sequel absolutely deserves all the praise. Maverick improves upon the original in every conceivable way , and does so in a way that might make this one of the greatest sequels ever made.
