Horror director Guillermo del Toro is back in Oscar contention with his dramatic thriller Nightmare Alley, which was nominated for a quartet of awards all announced this morning by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences via global live stream.
Del Toro, who won the Oscar for “Best Achievement in Directing” with his 2018 The Shape of Water, wasn’t nominated for Nightmare Alley, but the film did score noms for “Best Picture”, “Cinematography”, “Production Design”, and “Costume Design”. It’s also noteworthy that Nightmare Alley received four nominations and yet Cate Blanchett‘s sublime performance was completely ignored. We consider that to be one of this year’s biggest snubs.
As for other genre adjacent titles, Denis Villeneuve‘s fresh take on Dune dominated, collecting a whopping ten nominations.
