Seventeen branches are represented within the near 10,000 person membership. Since 1927, nominees and winners have been selected by members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). The Academy Awards, better known as the Oscars, is Hollywood’s most prestigious artistic award in the film industry. Anthony Hopkins is currently the oldest winner and nominee ever at 82 for “The Father,” recently surpassing Henry Fonda for “On Golden Pond” and Richard Farnsworth for “The Straight Story.” Adrien Brody is the youngest winner ever for “The Pianist” at 29, while Jackie Cooper is the youngest nominee ever for “Skippy” at 9.Ģ021 Oscars predictions are here. Tracy and Sir Laurence Olivier have the most nominations in this category, with nine. Daniel Day-Lewis has the most wins in this category with three, while Marlon Brando, Gary Cooper, Tom Hanks, Dustin Hoffman, Fredric March, Jack Nicholson, Sean Penn and Spencer Tracy have two. The most prominent Oscar “losers,” meaning most nominated and walk away with zero awards, are 1977’s “The Turning Point” and 1985’s “The Color Purple” at 11 each. “La La Land” is the only film of the three to have lost best picture. The most nominated films in Academy history are “All About Eve,” “Titanic” and “La La Land” at 14.
The most awarded films in Oscar history are “Ben-Hur,” “Titanic” and “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” at 11 statuettes. “Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” Precursor Awards Leader: Benedict Cumberbatch, “The Power of the Dog” (Netflix)Īwards Circuit Winners Chart (2021-2022) – coming soon 8, 2022, with the ceremony taking place on Sunday, Mar. The official Academy Awards nominations will be announced on Tuesday, Feb. Oscar nominations voting begins on Thursday, Jan. However, with one win from Las Vegas, Cage, a former winner for “Leaving Las Vegas” (1995), does have a passionate following, and if he nabs a SAG nom, he could get himself locked into the five.Īs always, SAG Award nominations will be crucial. Dinklage is the only one of the seven to have captured both. That leaves one presumed spot open, and there are seven realistic candidates for the spot – Mahershala Ali (“Swan Song”), Javier Bardem (“Being the Ricardos”), Nicolas Cage (“Pig”), Clifton Collins Jr (“Jockey”), Bradley Cooper (“Nightmare Alley”), Leonardo DiCaprio (“Don’t Look Up”) and Peter Dinklage (“Cyrano”).Ĭollins and Cooper are walking into the holiday without neither Critics Choice nor Globe noms. They seem locked and loaded for Oscar recognition, along with Andrew Garfield as Jonathan Larson in “Tick, Tick … Boom!” and Denzel Washington as Lord Macbeth in “The Tragedy of Macbeth.” Will Smith is just ahead of Cumberbatch as Venus and Serena Williams’ father in Reinaldo Marcus Green’s “King Richard.” He started the season off strongly with a high-profile win from the National Board of Review, and as long as he continues to pop up where necessary (i.e., SAG and BAFTA noms when announced), he should continue to stay the course. AWARDS PREDICTION COMMENTARY : Benedict Cumberbatch has begun to pull away with multiple critics’ prizes for his work in Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog.” With a year that’s shown the British actor turning in three additional performances in Lionsgate’s “The Courier,” Amazon Studios’ “The Electrical Life of Louis Wain” and Sony Pictures’ “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” he could emerge as the definitive frontrunner.
