It would be a bold move to bet on anyone other than Jane Campion for this one, with her ground-breaking vision translating into one of the best films of 2021 in The Power of the Dog. Jane Campion on the set of THE POWER OF THE DOG, nominated for Best Director at the Oscars 2022. Should’ve Been Nominated: Last Night in Soho, In The Heights, Spider-Man: No Way Home.If The Power of the Dog doesn’t win, my bets are on CODA, which means that either Netflix or AppleTV+ might be about to make history and become the first streamer to win a Best Picture Oscar. The obvious choices would be Belfast or Licorice Pizza, both favorites among critics and both nominated for Best Original Screenplay, but let’s not underestimate Sian Heder’s Apple TV+ hit CODA, which premiered at Sundance and has just won a SAG Award for Best Ensemble. Yet, there’s no doubt in my mind that Jane Campion’s the The Power of the Dog will win, not only because it pretty much dominated this year’s award season – winning the top prizes at the BAFTAs, Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards and many more – but also because it’s at a much higher level than all the other nominees if one simply considers the craft on display.īut the Academy might still surprise us and give the Award to another nominee. There are some really great films among this year’s nominees for Best Picture, from crowdpleasers like West Side Story, Dune, King Richard and CODA to films from beloved auteurs like Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast and Paul Thomas Anderson’s Licorice Pizza, to haunting adaptations like Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s Drive My Car (the first Japanese Film to earn a Best Picture nomination) and Guillermo Del Toro’s Nightmare Alley, one of the most underrated movies of the year. Benedict Cumberbatch as Phil Burbank in THE POWER OF THE DOG, nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars 2022.
