These included some major snubs considering fans expected Julia Ducournau’s Titane to be in the International Feature Film category. The reason behind this being the director managed to win the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Other snubs include Edgar Wright’s documentary feature Sparks which managed to attract quite the audience. But the director might be able to nab some nominations with his feature film Last Night In Soho, which has already gotten under the category of Sound.
So these are all the finalists being considered for the categories of Oscars 2022.
