The Dark Western ‘The Power of the Dog’ led the pack this year for the Academy Awards with 12 nominations for the Netflix Inc film, outpacing the 10 nods for sci-fi epic ‘Dune’ in the hunt for the industry’s highest honours.
The Netflix film had a strong showing with four acting nominations and gave the company a chance to win best picture, an accolade never awarded to a streaming service.
‘Power of the Dog’ received nominations for Benedict Cumberbatch for his portrayal of a charismatic, domineering Montana rancher, as well as for Kodi Smit-McPhee, Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons.
The winners will be revealed on March 27 at a televised Hollywood ceremony.
