The 2022 Academy Award nominations are out, with Everything, Everywhere All At Once leading the charge with 11 nominations, while All Quiet on the Western Front comes in with the second most nominations. It marks the first time two sequels have been nominated for Best Picture and as cool as that is, I don’t see either one actually winning. I’ve put my selection for who I think will win in the respective category (if I’ve seen anything from said category) in green. So here they are!
