The nominees for the 94th Academy Awards are a mixed and history-making bunch. Netflix's The Power of the Dog leads with 12 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actress and Actor. The film's director, Jane Campion, is now the first woman to receive two Best Director nominations — the other was for 1993's The Piano.

Dune, which was partly shot in Abu Dhabi, also has a strong showing with 10 nods, including Best Picture, Cinematography and Adapted Screenplay.

In addition, Japanese film

and Danish animated docudrama Flee — which tells the story of an Afghan refugee — have also earned more than one nod for this year's awards.

Coda, a story about a hearing-impaired family, is also a favourite to win Best Picture.

The Oscars will take place on March 27 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California.

Why your domicile status is important

Your UK residence status is assessed using the statutory residence test. While your residence status – ie where you live - is assessed every year, your domicile status is assessed over your lifetime.

Your domicile of origin generally comes from your parents and if your parents were not married, then it is decided by your father. Your domicile is generally the country your father considered his permanent home when you were born. 

UK residents who have their permanent home ("domicile") outside the UK may not have to pay UK tax on foreign income. For example, they do not pay tax on foreign income or gains if they are less than £2,000 in the tax year and do not transfer that gain to a UK bank account.

A UK-domiciled person, however, is liable for UK tax on their worldwide income and gains when they are resident in the UK.
