Here’s the full list of 2021 Oscar nominations

In a year peppered with urgent questions about diversity, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences answered with some important milestones in its announcement of the nominations for the 2021 Academy Awards. Actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas and her husband, musician-actor Nick Jonas, revealed the finalists in all 23 categories via global livestream from London on Monday morning.

In the directing category, the academy simultaneously nominated the most women the group ever has in one year (two: Chloé Zhao for “Nomadland” and Emerald Fennell for “Promising Young Woman”), the most filmmakers of Asian descent (Zhao and Lee Isaac Chung of “Minari,” both also nominated for their screenplays), first Asian woman and first Asian American man. The other two nominees are David Fincher for “Mank,” which had the most nominations of any film with 10, and the biggest surprise of the field: Thomas Vinterberg, for Denmark’s nominated international feature, “Another Round.”

2021 Oscar nominations: Snubs and surprises

Aaron Sorkin is out (for directing), LaKeith Stanfield is in (for supporting actor) and all the Oscar morning surprises and snubs.

March 15, 2021

As expected, awards season frontrunners Chadwick Boseman (“Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”), Riz Ahmed (“Sound of Metal”) and previous winners Anthony Hopkins (“The Father”) and Gary Oldman (“Mank”) were tapped in the lead actor category along with Steven Yeun of “Minari.” Yeun becomes the first Korean American ever to secure a nomination for lead actor. Yul Brynner is the only other known American nominee of even partial Asian heritage, winning in 1956 for “The King and I” (the actor was a naturalized American at the time of his nomination). The late Boseman has been cleaning up this awards season for his leave-it-on-the-field performance as a troubled trumpeter in the adaptation of August Wilson’s stage triumph and is widely considered the favorite to win.

A battle royale is shaping up in a lead actress category with steam-gathering Critics Choice winner Carey Mulligan (“Promising Young Woman”), season-long favorite and two-time winner Frances McDormand (“Nomadland”), previous supporting winner Viola Davis (“Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”), critically acclaimed Vanessa Kirby (“Pieces of a Woman”) and singer Andra Day (a Golden Globe winner for “The United States vs. Billie Holiday”).

The supporting actor category is led by Daniel Kaluuya, whose charismatic turn as Black Panther leader Fred Hampton in the late-releasing “Judas and the Black Messiah” vaulted him to the top of many prognosticators’ lists and has already won him honors including the Critics Choice and Globe. One of his main competitors is Sacha Baron Cohen as activist Abbie Hoffman in “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” which takes place at the same time as, and references the events of, “Judas.” In another real-life portrayal, Leslie Odom Jr., playing crooner Sam Cooke in “One Night in Miami...,” becomes the first “Hamilton” alum to receive an Oscar acting nomination. Also, like “Hamilton” honcho Lin-Manuel Miranda in 2017, Odom this year is a composing nominee (Miranda was nominated in 2017 for “How Far I’ll Go” from “Moana”; Odom co-wrote “Miami’s” “Speak Now”).

Paul Raci, a hearing member of Deaf West Theatre, was nominated for “Sound of Metal.” The biggest surprise was Kaluuya’s costar, LaKeith Stanfield, who was considered by many to be the film’s lead (after all, he’s the “Judas” figure in the “Black Messiah” film).

Among the nominated supporting actresses, Yuh-Jung Youn of “Minari” and Maria Bakalova of “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” have been splitting recent awards. Other nominees included past lead actress winner Olivia Colman of “The Father,” Amanda Seyfried of “Mank” and Glenn Close of “Hillbilly Elegy” (Close’s eighth nomination).

The 93rd Academy Awards ceremony is scheduled to air Sunday, April 25, at 5 p.m. Pacific on ABC. No host has been announced, but the producers are Emmy nominee Jesse Collins, Oscar nominee Stacey Sher and Oscar winner Steven Soderbergh.

And the 2021 Academy Award nominees are:
