A strong year for popcorn movies is also a fabulous one for Canada in nominations for the 95th Academy Awards announced Tuesday. Rounding out the Best Picture field is Cannes 2022 Palme d’Or winner “Triangle of Sadness,” a class satire that has three nominations. Polley was MIA in the Best Director category, even though she’d been considered a sure thing early on in awards season. “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” star Angela Bassett made history with her Best Supporting Actress nomination. She’s the first person to get an Oscar nomination for acting in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, which also makes her the first woman and first person of colour to do so.
