The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has released the shortlists for 10 categories in the 2022 Oscar race, and three movies: “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “The Batman” and “All Quiet on the Western Front” have landed. . in the shortlists of Makeup and Hairdressing, Visual Effects and Sound.
In the Best Makeup and Hairstyling category, which expanded from three final nominees to five in 2019, those three films are joined by the high-profile biopics “Elvis” and “Blonde,” the whimsical period pieces “Babylon” and ” Amsterdam”, the historical action film “Emancipation”, the Brendan Fraser drama “The Whale” and, as a pleasant surprise, the David Cronenberg sci-fi horror film “Crimes of the Future”. Cronenberg’s “The Fly” won in this category in 1987, the only Oscar awarded to one of his films.
The Best Visual Effects of the Year category is dominated, as usual, by blockbusters such as “Avatar: The Way of Water”, “Top Gun: Maverick”, “Jurassic World Dominion”, “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore,” “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” and “Nope.” Ron Howard’s real-life cave rescue docudrama “Thirteen Lives” also earned a spot, but notable omissions from the list included ” Everything Everywhere All at Once,” the Indian action saga “RRR,” and the Mars rover documentary “Good Night Oppy,” which was also rejected in the doc category.
And for Best Sound, now in its second year of being among the shortlisted categories, the titles ranged from the action “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Everything Everywhere All at Once” to the musical “Elvis” and “Babylon.” The list also included the animated film “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio,” and in an extremely rare occurrence, a documentary made the cut: Brett Morgen’s David Bowie tribute “Moonage Daydream,” which also earned a spot on the list of finalists.
