2021 Oscars Nominations List (Updating Live)

The time has come to find out the nominations for the 93rd Academy Awards. While the 2021 Oscars ceremony was originally set for February 28, the Academy decided to delay the event to late April to accommodate the pandemic upending much of the theatrical release calendar in 2020. Because of the pandemic, the eligibility window for the 2021 Oscars was extended from January 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021, two months longer than normal. The Oscars are also allowing films that debuted on streaming or PVOD platforms to compete for Oscars, so long as they originally planned for a theatrical release.

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. Winners for the 93rd Academy Awards will be announced Sunday, April 25. The ceremony will air on ABC at 8pm ET.
