Your 2021 Oscar Nominations are Here
The 93rd Academy Awards will air live, on ABC, this April 25, and your nominees are officially in. This year marked the first time the Academy waived the requirement that a film had to have a limited theatrical release in order to qualify, a nod to our shared reality in which the pandemic laid waste to the film release schedule, thousands of theaters were closed, and many big titles were delayed.
Without further ado, let’s get to the nominees. David Fincher’s Mank leads with 10 nominations, while Darius Marder’s Sound of Metal and Lee Isaac Chung’s Minari had the next largest haul, grabbing 7 nominations each. Close behind them are Chloé Zhao’s Nomadland, Shaka King’s Judas and the Black Messiah, Emerald Fennell’s Promising Young Woman, and Aaron Sorkin’s The Trial of the Chicago 7 all garnered six nominations.
