THE Power of the Dog and Dune swept the nominations for the Oscars, which were announced today (Tuesday, February 8).

Both films earned multiple nominations for technical awards such as Editing, Production Design as well as Best Picture.

However, Dune director Denis Villeneuve missed out on a Best Director nomination, unlike The Power of the Dog director Jane Campion.

Kenneth Branagh's semi-autobiographical film Belfast also did well with nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay, as well as with acting nominations for Judi Dench and Ciaran Hinds.

Further British representation was found with a Best Actor nod for Benedict Cumberbatch for The Power of the Dog and Andrew Garfield for tick...tick...BOOM!, as well as Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley both being nominated for The Lost Daughter.

After her snub by the BAFTAs Kristen Stewart was nominated for Best Actress for her role-playing Diana, Princess of Wales in Spencer.

In a surprise nod in the Best Picture category Guillermo del Toro's remake of Nightmare Alley was featured despite not being nominated in any other category.
