The academy has announced the shortlists for 10 categories in preparation for the upcoming 94th Oscars.

Dominating the shortlists in four different categories was the latest Bond film starring Daniel Craig in his last appearance as the legendary spy. The blockbuster made the shortlist for make-up and styling, music/original song, sound and visual effects

Sci-fi drama, Dune, starring Timothee Chalamet and Oscar Isaac also dominated the categories and was nominated for music, make-up and styling, sound and visual effects. 

Despite only being released last week, the latest Spider-man movie starring Tom Holland and Zendaya also received nominations for sound and visual effects, as did The Matrix: Resurrections.

It looks like we’re one step closer to seeing history being made as well, as Beyonce and Jay-Z made the shortlist for their two songs on ‘The Harder They Fall’ and ‘King Richard’. If they receive nominations, it will be the first time in Oscar history that a husband and wife compete against each other in the same category. 

Another surprise from the announcements was the exclusion of France’s ‘Titane’ from Julia Ducournau, who became the second woman ever to win the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival this year. 

It was always going to be difficult to convince Academy members to nominate this film as it was quite divisive, but it was at least expected to be shortlisted. 

Other categories announced were international feature film, live-action short film, documentary feature, animated short film and documentary short subject.
