2021 Oscars Nominations – Full List

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced today, Monday 15th March 2021, the nominees for the delayed 93rd Oscars, set to celebrate the best of cinema released in 2020.

The live announcement made from London via the Academy’s YouTube channel by Priyanka Chopra Jonas (Baywatch; The Matrix 4) and her husband Nick Jonas (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle), revealed Mank to be one of the Academy’s favourites this year, with the David Fincher directed Netflix Original landing nominations in the Best Picture, Best Director, Cinematography, Best Actor and Supporting Actress categories, whilst Riz Ahmed drama Sound of Metal earned nominations across a number of major categories including Best Picture, Best Actor and Original Screenplay, and Emeral Fennell’s Promising Young Woman became a Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress and Best Original Screenplay nominee.

The delayed 2021 Oscars ceremony will take place live on Sunday 25th April 2021, with Academy president David Rubin guaranteeing that the ceremony will be held and attended in person live from both Union Station, Los Angeles and its usual home The Dolby Theater in Hollywood, making it the first major film awards show in the US to be held in person since the 92nd Oscars in February 2020.

Following the Golden Globes and the widely renowned choices made by the British Academy of Film and Television for the 2021 BAFTAs, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have followed in the British Academy’s steps to vote for diversity across its major categories, ensuring a better representation of the films made and released across the past 13-14 months, indicating that steps made to better representation within the academy are being proved successful.
