2021 Oscar Nominations List Of Academy Awards Nominees

Last year’s Oscars were a historic event as Bong Joon Ho’s “Parasite” made history in a number of top categories, including becoming the first non-English-language movie to win Best Picture. Bong also became the first Korean filmmaker to earn the Best Director prize. Many in the industry viewed the “Parasite” Oscar wins as a watershed moment for the Academy, and all eyes are focused on how the Oscars will continue such inclusive forward momentum in 2021.

Going into Oscar nominations morning, Chloé Zhao’s “Nomadland” had the bulk of awards season momentum thanks to winning Best Picture at the Critics’ Choice Awards and Best Motion Picture Drama at the Golden Globes. While “Nomadland” has been cleaning up at awards shows (it also won Best Feature at the Gotham Awards and is nominated for a ceremony-leading seven prizes at the BAFTA Film Awards), many of the races remain tight heading into Oscar night. The complete list of 2021 Oscar categories is below. IndieWire will update each category with its respective nominees as they are announced live.
