Oscars 2021: The Nominees Are In

Check out the full list of this year’s nods.

In a surprising turn of events, the 2021 Oscars nominations celebrate a diverse range of talent.

After a Grammys award show dominated by women, the 2021 Oscars list follows suit with a record-breaking 76 female nominees and two women in line for Best Director — Emerald Fennel and Chloé Zhao, also the first woman of color nominated for the award.

Three out of five supporting actor nominees are Black men, including Daniel Kaluuya and Lakeith Stanfield for their roles in Judas and the Black Messiah. Viola Davis and Andra Day (our V128 cover star), both Black women, are in line for Best Actress.

David Fincher’s Mank leads the list with 10 nods, and the late Chadwick Boseman could receive another posthumous award for his lead role in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.

Catch the 93rd Academy Awards on April 25th, and the full list of nods below.
