Nominees for the 46th Nippon Academy Awards (2022)


The prize giving ceremony for the 46th Nippon Academy Awards will be held at Grand Prince Hotel Shin Takanawa International Convention Center Pamir on 10 Mar 2023. Hosts for the event will be Hattori Shinichi & Arimura Kasumi. Films shown in Tokyo between 1 January and 31 Dec 2022 for at least 3 times a day over a two-week period would qualify for selection. 

Note that the nominees are referred to as winners of the Excellence Awards 優秀賞 rather than simply nominees in other movie awards. As such, the final winner of each category would then be given the Grand Prix Award 最優秀賞 during the prize giving ceremony.

In this edition of the awards, "Aru Otoko" has the most excellence award winners i.e. 13 in 12 categories while "Tsuki no michikake" takes the second spot with 11 winners in 10 categories.
