The 2021 Oscars nominations have been announced, with David Fincher’s old Hollywood drama Mank leading the full list of nominees with a total of 10 nominations. It’s followed in second place by five films — The Father with Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman, the Korean immigrant drama Minari, Frances McDormand-led Nomadland from writer-director Chloé Zhao, Riz Ahmed-starrer Sound of Metal, and Aaron Sorkin’s The Trial of the Chicago 7 — all tied with six nominations apiece. This is very unusual, for the Oscars nominations to be evenly spread across so many films, and shows the strength of the 2021 slate.
Husband-wife duo Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas revealed the 2021 Oscars nominations on Monday morning from London. The 93rd Academy Awards — the proper official title of the 2021 Oscars — are set to take place April 25 in Los Angeles, delayed by two months due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to allow more films to release. This year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences — usually referred to as just “the Academy” — has allowed even films directly released on streaming to qualify for the 2021 Oscars.
Here in India, the 2021 Oscars will be live streamed on the morning of April 26. An official broadcaster has yet to be finalised.
