David Fincher’s Mank is this year’s most nominated film, with mentions in 10 categories, including Best Picture, Directing and Actor in a Leading Role. Nomadland, Minari, The Father, Judas and the Black Messiah, Sound of Metal and The Trial of the Chicago 7 have six nominations each.
Among the highlights of the Oscars 2021: two women are competing in the Best Director category for the first time ever (Chloe Zhao for Nomadland and Emerald Fennell for Promising Young Woman).
Chadwick Boseman received a posthumous nomination in the Actor in a Leading Role category for his performance as a jazz musician in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.
