Final 2021-2022 Oscar Nominations Predictions
Dune (c) Warner Bros / The French Dispatch (c) Focus Feature / Don't Look Up (Netflix)
This year, the Oscars will be subtitled the Timmys as Timothée Chalamet is the actor will be in the most Best Picture nominees. Of course, I do think there’s going to be a big surprise of “The French Dispatch” sneaking into the Best Picture category. But even if three Best Picture nominees may be a reach, he is the only performer with a significant role in two: “Dune” (lead) and “Don’t Look Up” (supporting). The sad news is poor Timmy himself won't be nominated.
So, here are my final predictions for the Oscar Nominations, coming out in tomorrow, Tuesday, Feb 8.
