2021 OSCAR NOMINATIONS ANNOUNCED

Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas (uh, why??) announced the nominations for the 93rd annual Academy Awards today and "Mank", David Fincher's admirable yet dry look at screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz and his struggles to write the script for one of the greatest motion pictures of all time, "Citizen Kane", leads the field with ten including Best Actor for Gary Oldman, Best Supporting Actress for Amanda Seyfried and Best Picture. The other Best Picture nominees include “The Father,” “Judas and the Black Messiah,” “Minari,” “Nomadland,” “Sound of Metal” and “The Trial of the Chicago 7' which all received six total nominations while "Promising Young Woman" received five.

This year's selections has proven to be the most diverse and inclusive in the Academy's long history. The most notable for the first time, two women are competing in the Best Director category after only five had ever been previously nominated. Chloé Zhao was recognized for her work in the character study on the forgotten in "Nomadland" and Emerald Fennell for her feminist revenge drama, "Promising Young Woman" with both also receiving nominations for their screenplays. Nine actors of color earned nominations, setting a record which includes Steven Yeun for "Minari", making his the first Asian-American nominated for Best Actor and Riz Ahmed, a Best Actor nominee for "Sound of Metal", became the first person of Pakistani descent ever nominated for any acting Oscar. And "Judas and the Black Messiah" became the first movie with an all African-American producing team to be nominated for Best Picture.
