Nominations for the 94th Academy Awards have been announced. Here’s everything you need to know about the films up for best picture according to @phillipstribune. (1/11) #OscarNoms
“The Power of the Dog” review: The gorgeous Otago region of New Zealand makes for one hell of a 1925 Montana in “The Power of the Dog.” (2/11) chicagotribune.com/entertainment/…
“Belfast” review: Everything that works in “Belfast” keeps the movie’s superficialities and lower-grade sentiment at bay. (3/11)

“CODA” review: It’s possible to be grateful for the existence and, especially, the actors in “CODA” and still be frustrated by its gently shameless storytelling. (4/11) chicagotribune.com/entertainment/…
“Don’t Look Up” commentary: The jaunty disaster film is the “Tiger King” of early 2022 — the Netflix-and-gaaaah! phenomenon of the moment. (5/11) chicagotribune.com/entertainment/…
“Drive My Car” review: The story largely unfolds as a series of conversations — officious at first, then gradually more unguarded — between the actor, whose wife has died, and his chauffeur, an isolated young woman most at home behind the wheel. (6/11)

“Dune” review: The patient, densely embroidered narrative invests heavily in themes of environmental, ecological and colonialist exploitation. (7/11) chicagotribune.com/entertainment/…
“King Richard” review: The film redirects the tennis phenomenon of Venus and Serena Williams away from the sisters and toward their father, Richard. He is played by Will Smith in a performance guaranteed an Oscar nomination — deserved, by the way. (8/11)

“Licorice Pizza” review: It’s a beautiful film to soak up as a visual and musical memory of a place that remains, and a time long gone. (9/11) chicagotribune.com/entertainment/…
“Nightmare Alley” review: The screenplay manages a tricky tonal challenge, preserving and heightening the pungent language of the novel, while borrowing (a little) from the previous, more economical film version’s inventions. (10/11)

“West Side Story” review: Whatever this new adaptation’s popular reception, it’s five times the movie the ‘61 movie was. (11/11). chicagotribune.com/entertainment/…
Column: The 94th Oscar nominees reflect a year that felt like two or three. For worse or better, Hollywood has made its peace with streaming.
