Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic Dune on Thursday amassed the most nominations for 2022 BAFTA Awards, closely followed by Jane Campion’s Western film The Power of the Dog. Dune, based on author Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel, earned 11 nominations, including best film, adapted screenplay, original score, and all eight technical categories.
Campion’s The Power of the Dog received eight nominations with lead star Benedict Cumberbatch securing a spot in best actor category, while his co-stars, Jesse Plemons and Kodi Smit-Mcphee, are nominated for the best supporting actor. Belfast, a period drama directed by Kenneth Branagh, was the third-most-nominated title overall with six, followed by Paul Thomas Anderson’s Licorice Pizza, James Bond movie No Time To Die and Steven Spielberg-directed musical West Side Story, with each securing five nods. There were surprises aplenty during the nominations as films like Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Lost Daughter, Nicole Kidman-starrer Being The Ricardos, Andrew Garfield’s musical Tick Tick… Boom! and Ethan Coen’s Macbeth were snubbed in major categories.
