'The Power of the Dog' leads Oscar nominations with 12 

   LOS ANGELES, Feb 8, 2022 (BSS/AFP) - Jane Campion's "The Power of the 
Dog," an eerie psychological Western about a repressed 1920s cattle rancher 
in Montana, on Tuesday scored the most Oscar nominations with 12, taking the 
lead in Hollywood's awards race.

   Sprawling sci-fi epic "Dune" was second with 10 nominations for the 
Academy Awards, which will take place on March 27 in Hollywood.

  "Belfast" -- Kenneth Branagh's black-and-white, semi-autobiographical 
recounting of 1960s violence in Northern Ireland -- and Steven Spielberg's 
reimagined "West Side Story" were tied for third place at seven nominations.
