Oscars nominations 2021: Baron-Cohen, Mulligan and Kaluuya in the running

Sacha Baron-Cohen, Carey Mulligan, Olivia Colman, Daniel Kaluuya and Sir Anthony Hopkins are among the British stars nominated for this year’s Oscars.

Vanessa Kirby, Gary Oldman and Riz Ahmed are among the other UK nominees.

They are joined by the likes of Frances McDormand, Glenn Close, Viola Davis and the late Chadwick Boseman.

Two women were nominated for best director – the first time more than one woman has been shortlisted for that prize in the awards’ 93-year history.

Chloe Zhao is nominated for directing Nomadland, and Britain’s Emerald Fennell – who plays Camilla Parker-Bowles in The Crown – is recognised for Promising Young Woman.

Mank, the black-and-white drama starring Oldman as Citizen Kane writer Herman Mankiewicz, leads the overall field with 10 nominations.
