Awards shows are back, and the 93rd Academy Awards will take place on April 25. But first, the 2021 Oscar nominees have to be revealed. Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas were on had to announce the nominations live on March 15.
The past year was an unprecedented one for the film industry due to theaters closing because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but there were still so many incredible performances. From Daniel Kaluuya’s powerful turn in Judas and the Black Messiah to Carey Mulligan’s visceral performance in Promising Young Woman, the past year’s performances have been rock solid. Women made Oscars history this year in a big way. Emerald Fennell and Chloé Zhao were nominated in the directing category in the same year for the first time. Chloé is the first woman of color to be nominated in the directing category. See the full list of Oscar nominations below.
