In the Excellence in Period Film category, “House of Gucci,” “Cruella” and “Nightmare Alley” will be competing against “Cyrano” and “West Side Story.”

The Excellence in Sci-Fi/Fantasy Film category will find “Dune” squaring off against “The Green Knight,” “The Matrix Resurrections,” “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and “The Suicide Squad.” And nominees for Excellence in Contemporary Film were “Coming 2 America,” “Don’t Look Up,” “In the Heights,” “No Time to Die” and “Zola.”
