Here Are Your 2021 Oscar Nominees

although this year's awards season, much like time itself within the past calendar year, has felt like it's stretched on for eons already, it ain't over however! Case in point, even as we're still unpacking last night's Grammys, the grand, glittering carousel of golden trophies spins on — Oscar nominations are right now here, and they're ready for your takes.


One of the hugest topics of discussion since the list went wide this morning (March 15) is the historic nature of some key nominations. Chloé Zhao, director of the cute and stunning Nomadland, became the initial woman of color to earn a Best Director nod, and with Emerald Fennell (who penned and directed the gutsy Promising Young Woman), they resemble two girls in The perfect Director field for the initial time ever. Both films got Best Picture nods as well.


That category, by the way, includes both David Fincher's old Hollywood narrative Mank — the most-nominated film this year, with 10 nods — and Lee Isaac Chung's much-celebrated homemaking tale Minari, as well as The Father, Judas and the Black Messiah, Sound of Metal, and The Trial of the Chicago 7. The acting categories are a real feast as well: Daniel Kaluuya and Lakeith Stanfield both earned Supporting Actor nods for Black Messiah, while Chadwick Boseman obtained a posthumous nomination for his Golden Globe-winning turn in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, his final film.


there is lots more to digest, so find the complete list of 2021 Oscar nominees below. Then visualize who wins on Sunday, April 25 at 8 p.M. On ABC.
