Gonna be a unique Oscars this…

Hot off the Grammys dominating every headline in the world yesterday, the Oscars released its list of 2021 nominations overnight, and of course there’s plenty of buzz in the air. There were a lot of firsts as well, with Netflix’s Mank leading the way with a total of 10 nominations. Other notable firsts include two women being nominated for best director for the first time in Chloé Zhao and Emerald Fennell (Nomadland and Promising Young Women). And on a sombre note, Chadwick Boseman received a posthumous Best Actor nod for his role in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, which we’re bloody praying he wins.

It’s a stacked year to say the least. Check out the full list of nominations below.
