Western Drama ‘The Power Of The Dog’ Leads Oscar Nominations

The Power of the Dog’ leads the Oscar nominations with 12.

Jane Campion’s Western drama leads the way with nods in most of the most prestigious categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor for Benedict Cumberbatch, Best Supporting Actress for Kirsten Dunst and Best Supporting Actor for both Kodi Smit-McPhee and Jesse Plemons.

Close behind with 10 nominations is sci-fi epic ‘Dune’, while Sir Kenneth Branagh’s ‘Belfast’ and Steven Spielberg’s remake of ‘West Side Story’ earned seven nods apiece.

Branagh is up for Best Director for the semi-autobiographical flick and will have to beat ‘Licorice Pizza’ filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson , Campion, Spielberg and Ryusuke Hamaguchi, who helmed ‘Drive My Car’, if he wants to take home the famous golden stauette.

In a statement, 61-year-old Branagh said: “It’s a long way from the streets of Belfast to the Academy Awards.

“Today, I think of my mother and father, and my grandparents – how proud they were to be Irish, how much this city meant to them. They would have been overwhelmed by this incredible honour – as am I.

“Given a story as personal as this one, it’s a hell of a day for my family, and the family of our film. I thank Academy voters for their incredible and generous recognition.”

Cumberbatch will compete against Javier Bardem (‘Being the Ricardos’), Andrew Garfield (‘Tick, Tick … Boom!’), Will Smith (‘King Richard’) and Denzel Washington (‘The Tragedy of Macbeth’) in the Best Actor category.

The Best Actress prize will be won by either Jessica Chastain (‘The Eyes of Tammy Faye’), Olivia Colman (‘The Lost Daughter’), Penélope Cruz (‘Parallel Mothers’), Nicole Kidman (‘Being the Ricardos’) or Kristen Stewart (‘Spencer’).
