House Of Gucci star Lady Gaga and the latest Marvel box office hit, Spider-Man: No Way Home, were missing from the list of this year's Academy Awards contenders, while Jane Campion became the first woman to have more than one best director nomination.

House Of Gucci , a star-studded movie about the feuding family behind the Italian fashion label, was excluded from all of the major categories, including best leading actress. Pop star Gaga, who was nominated in the category for 2018's A Star Is Born, was seen by awards watchers as a likely pick.
