The 2022 Oscar Nominations are being announced on February 8, 2022. Will your favorite movie get a nod? We’ll have to wait and see! In the meantime, find out if your predictions match mine by checking out my 2022 Oscar Predictions, below.
I have been an avid lover of the Academy Awards for the longest time, but not until a few years ago did I start getting down to attempting to predict the unpredictable. Of course, the Academy likes to zag whenever someone thinks they are zigging, but that doesn’t stop any of us from attempting to predict the movies and talent they will nominate.
I will be looking at the following categories today—Best Picture, which will be the first year where they HAVE to nominate ten films, Best Director, and both Lead and Supporting categories.
