Following history, buzz, news, reviews and sources, the Oscar and Emmy predictions are updated regularly with the current year's list of contenders in all categories.

There were few surprises among the shortlisted films announced for the 2022 Documentary Film Oscar but, as always there was at least one. While “Summer of Soul,” “The Rescue” and “Flee” (also earning an International Film shortlist mention) were expected, “Billie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry” was definitely not.

Are you feeling pretty? Or feeling monstrous? Look no further than the 10 films still in the mix for the 20220 Makeup and Hairstyling Academy Award. “Cruella,” “Dune,” “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” and “The Suicide Squad” were expected among the list.
