The nominees for the 94th Academy Awards were announced this morning, and as usual, there were some surprises and some snubs (our Movie of the Year was completely shut out!) But like many of you, we’re just concerned with how they match our own picks for the best movies of 2021. Were any of last year’s best breakout performances recognized? How about our favorite film scores? Could our choice of Filmmaker of the Year become part of history as the second woman in consecutive years to win Best Director? Does any of it really matter when so many great movies are overlooked for Best Picture year after year?

We’ll find out some of those answers when this year’s Academy Awards are held on Sunday, March 27th. For now, here are your 2022 Oscar nominations:
