Lady Gaga, Spider-Man overlooked by film academy in Oscar nominations

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.

Spider-Man ranks as the sixth highest-grossing movie in global box office history with nearly $1.8 billion in ticket sales. Superhero movies typically do not earn a spot in the best picture race, but producers Sony Corp and Walt Disney Co had been campaigning for Spider-Man to be included. Dune made it onto the best picture list with nine other contenders, including surprise nominee Drive My Car, a Japanese-language drama that also earned Ryusuke Hamaguchi a best director nomination.

Jane Campion became the first woman to have two nominations in the best director category: This year's for the dark Western The Power of the Dog and one nearly three decades ago for 1993 romantic drama The Piano.
