Oscars 2021: Nominations Officially Announced

The nominations for this year’s Oscars have officially been announced.

After one of the most taxing years in cinema history, with theatres shuttered and productions delayed, we’ve nearly reached the biggest awards ceremony of the season.

While many movies never made it to the big screen, there’s been plenty to celebrate, whether it’s Daniel Kaluuya’s phenomenal performance in Judas and the Black Messiah, Chloé Zhao’s incredible Nomadland (yet to reach the UK) or the polarising Promising Young Woman. Now, we know which films have a shot of taking home statuettes.
