For the first time, two sequels — “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Avatar: The Way of Water” — were nominated for best picture. Malaysia-born Michelle Yeoh, who starred in the genre-bending “Everything Everywhere all at Once”, became the second Asian woman to be nominated for best actress since the awards were first held in 1929.Still, some criticised the lack of Black women in the best actress category, with neither Viola Davis nor Danielle Deadwyler recognised, despite being seen as leading contenders ahead of the nominations for their roles in “The Woman King” and “Till”, respectively.
