Chadwick Boseman up for posthumous Oscars…see full list

60

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed the nominees for the 2021 Oscars on Monday after an unprecedented year amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

But it was unprecedented for another reason, too: This year’s showing includes a record number of nominees of colour after years of outcry over the academy’s usual selections. It’s also the first year that two women were in the running for the best director honours.

The White Tiger star Priyanka Chopra Jonas and her husband Nick Jonas announced the Academy Awards nominations in a two-part livestream Monday morning.

The late Chadwick Boseman, who died in August, was nominated for Best Actor in his final role as hot-headed musician Levee in Netflix’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, which also stars Viola Davis who also scored a nomination for Best Actress. He joins a record number of black actors nominated in this year’s award, eclipsing 2017’s showing.

And Steven Yeun made Oscars history, becoming the first Asian American ever nominated for Best Actor for his role in Minari.

Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stanfield will be squaring off in the same category, both nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role in Judas and the Black Messiah.

Maria Bakalova also scored a nod for Best Supporting Actress in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. Meanwhile, her Borat co-star Sacha Baron Cohen was nominated for his role in The Trial of the Chicago 7, but also picked up a nom for Adapted Screenplay for the Borat sequel.

The 2021 show will be held on Sunday, April 25, and air live on ABC, as originally planned. However, the dates for the show were pushed back due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, having originally been scheduled for Feb. 28. The delay, which also extended the eligibility period, marks the latest the Oscars have been held since 1932, when the awards were handed out in November.

The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, which was slated to open in Los Angeles on Dec. 14, also postponed its opening date twice, first to April and now to September.

Voting officially begins April 15 and ends on April 20. The Oscars shortlist was first revealed in February.

For the first time ever, the Academy allowed streamed films that didn’t have a big-screen opening to be eligible for Oscars. The announcement last April said it would be a one-time decision due to the “historically tragic COVID-19 pandemic,” which “necessitates this temporary exception to our awards eligibility rules.”

So far, there’s been no official word as to how the Oscars will handle the show. But it will go on; the Academy maintained that “the Oscars in-person telecast will happen” in a December statement, with sources saying it will still be held at its usual venue, the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California.

The Golden Globes in February were part-virtual, part in-person with hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey taking stages on opposite coasts.

Last year at the Oscars, “Parasite” was the big winner, in a historic moment for South Korean films. The Bong Joon Ho-directed movie also took home awards for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best International Feature Film.

Below is the full list of 2021 Oscar nominees, which will be updated as they’re announced.
