History was made in the nominations for the 93rd Annual Academy Awards on Monday.
“Mank” leads the pack with the most nominations with 10. The film also received the most nominations for Golden Globes last month but left that ceremony empty-handed. Netflix, which distributed the film, has a total of 35 nominations, most of all distributors this year.
The film competes for the best picture alongside “The Father”, “Judas and the Black Messiah”, “Minari”, “Nomadland”, “Promising Young Woman”, “Sound of Metal” and “The Trial of the Chicago 7”.
The 2021 Oscars marks the first time an all-black production team has been nominated for Best Picture. Producers Shaka King, Ryan Coogler and Charles D. King were honored for their work on “Judas and the Black Messiah”.
Monday’s announcement also marks the first time two actors of Asian origin have been nominated in the Best Actor category. Steven Yeun received a nod for his work on “Minari” and Riz Ahmed received a nod for “Sound of Metal”. Ahmed is also the first Muslim candidate in this category.
2021 is also the first year in which two women were nominated in the directing category. Chloe Zhao is nominated for her work on “Nomadland” and Emerald Fennell is nominated for “Promising Young Woman”.
Viola Davis, nominated for Best Actress for “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” is the most nominated black actress of all time with four nominations and the only black woman with two nominations for best actress.
Hollywood power couple Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas announced all the nominees in a two-part livestream that was streamed through the Academy of Motion Picture Sciences’ social media accounts and the organization’s website.
The funding period for this year’s nominations was unique. The ongoing pandemic has closed cinemas around the world for much of the past year, forcing the academy to make some changes to its rules.
For this year only, the organization has allowed films that would have gone to theaters to remain eligible if they debuted on streaming services.
