Perhaps the year’s most acclaimed film, Everything Everywhere All At Once was the most nominated movie of the year, counting a stunning 17 nominations and being nominated numerous times in multiple categories. The Batman was behind it with 11 nominations, while Top Gun: Maverick had 9.
MOST NOMINATIONS BY FILM:
Everything Everywhere All At Once: 17 nominations
The Batman: 11 nominations
Top Gun: Maverick: 9 nominations
Avatar: The Way of Water: 7 nominations
The Banshees of Inisherin: 6 nominations
No records were broken in terms of MOST nominations (which to this day still belongs to Christopher Nolan’s Inception with 19 nominations). Still, one thing worth noting is the amazing diversity of 2022 films chosen for this year’s Golden Schmoes. I think the fan community is often looked down on by critics who assume we’ll only watch comic book movies, but movies like The Banshees of Inisherin, The Menu and Tar did surprisingly well. Nominations like this make me proud to be part of the community!
