The nominees for the 94th Academy Awards were announced this evening. Tracee Ellis Ross and Leslie Jordan presented the event, which unveiled the nominations for all 23 award categories.
The event will be placed on March 27 at 5:30 p.m. PT at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles (6:30 am IST on March 28 in India). It was originally scheduled on February 27 but was pushed back owing to the Omicron surge.
Since the previous edition permitted a two-month extension of eligibility until the end of February 2021, the qualifying window for this year's Oscars was films debuting between March 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021.
The changed qualifying requirements from the 93rd Academy Awards were carried over, thus nominated films were not limited to those having theatrical runs.
The complete list of 2022 Oscar categories with their nominations is below.
