Actor-comedian Leslie Jordan and actor, CEO and producer Tracee Ellis Ross announced the 94th Oscars nominations today. Denis Villeneuve’s Dune is an Oscar contender across the crafts categories. Dune earned 10 nominations, including for best visual effects, best cinematography, best film editing, best sound, best makeup and hairstyling, best production design, and best costume design.
Academy members from each of the 17 branches vote to determine the nominees in their respective categories – VFX artists nominate best visual effects, film editors nominate film editors, etc. In the Animated Feature Film and International Feature Film categories, nominees are selected by a vote of multi–branch screening committees. All voting members are eligible to select the Best Picture nominees. This year, the Academy saw its highest-ever voter participation in the organization’s history, with members submitting ballots from 82 countries.
Our heartfelt congrats to the nominees and all the teams of artists who worked on these great films.
