The 94th Oscar nominations were full of surprises in both satisfying and disappointing ways, but when there are only five nominees in most categories, it's almost guaranteed that a few favorites will miss the cut.Here, the AP takes a look at some of the biggest shocks and upsets.DENIS MISSES IN DIRECTORThere is a general rule in Oscar snubs that you can’t just declare something a snub. You have to say who they should replace and the directing category this year is stacked with talent and merit, including Steven Spielberg for “West Side Story,” Paul Thomas Anderson for “Licorice Pizza,” Ryusuke Hamaguchi for “Drive My Car,” Kenneth Branagh for “Belfast” and Jane Campion (the first woman to ever get two directing nominations) for “The Power of the Dog.” That’s all to say that it was just a competitive year for directing and Denis Villeneuve, whose “Dune” got the second most nominations, simply missed the cut, though he can still celebrate his personal nominations for adapted screenplay and best picture.KSTEW GETS REDEEMEDIt’s been quite a journey for Kristen Stewart on the way to her first Oscar nomination.

Kenneth Branagh received three Oscar nominations today for Belfast – Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Picture – bringing his total to eight nominations. His nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Picture means Branagh has just broken a record by being nominated for Oscars in seven different categories throughout his career.

Kristen Stewart has landed her first ever Oscar nomination for Best Actress in a leading role for her portrayal of Princess Diana in the 2021 movie, Spencer. The biopic was released in cinemas in November and, while it received generally positive reviews from critics, some of the late princess’ close friends were much less enthused and criticised how she was made to come across.The film is largely based on one weekend in Diana’s life when she and Prince Charles were hit with claims that their marriage was at breaking point while attempting to enjoy the Christmas festivities at the famous Sandringham Estate.

Oscar winners Leonardo DiCaprio and Cate Blanchett both have proven that they have said star power with the amount of best picture nominees (and winners) they’ve appeared in over their careers.
