It’s been something like five minutes since the 2021 Grammys ended, and here we are, onto the next awards show, announcing this year’s Oscars nominees. The 2021 Academy Awards will honor a strange year in cinema, which saw theaters go dark, festivals go digital, first-run movies go VOD, and David Fincher go full Mank. This morning, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced its nominees, with the help of early-risers Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas. Mank led the nominations with 10, following which, Judas and the Black Messiah, Minari, The Father, Nomadland, Trial of the Chicago 7, and Sound of Metal all received 6 nominations each.
