'Everything Everywhere' leads Oscar nominations with 11

Jan. 24 (UPI) -- Everything Everywhere All At Once was nominated for a leading 11 Oscars, including Best Picture, on Tuesday at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, Calif.

All Quiet on the Western Front and The Banshees of Inisherin followed close behind with nine nods apiece.

Blockbuster sequels Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water earned Best Picture nominations, too. However, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever did not secure a slot in the top category.

The movie was not entirely overlooked, though.

Angela Bassett earned a mention for Best Supporting Actress, the first acting nomination for a Marvel movie, for her performance in Black Panther. The film also is nominated for several technical awards.

Everything Everywhere All At Once star Michelle Yeoh made history as the first Asian artist nominated for Best Actress.

2022 was a great year for women storytellers like Sarah Polley, Gina Prince-Bythewood, Maria Schrader and Charlotte Wells, but none of them were nominated for Best Director for their respective films Women Talking, The Woman King, She Said and Aftersun.

Instead, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences shortlisted only men in the category after awarding the title of Best Director to women the past two years -- Chloé Zhao for Nomadland and Jane Campion for Power of the Dog.

Riz Ahmed and Allison Williams read the names of those who are up for Hollywood's most prestigious awards, which will recognize excellence in cinema for 2022.

The Academy Award winners will be announced March 12 at a gala at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

Late-night talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel is set to host the ceremony for a third time.
