The full list of Oscar nominations for 2021 is here, and the amount of diversity on show marks a refreshing change for the awards ceremony over previous years. While we’re not overly surprised at the Best Picture picks, it’s a welcome and broad selection nonetheless.

The 2021 Oscar nominations fill in a lot of the gaps left open by the BAFTAs nominations list, with the likes of Sacha Baron Cohen (The Trial of Chicago 7), Olivia Colman (The Father) and Gary Oldman (Mank) all being up for awards.

As is often the case, the 2021 Golden Globes could offer some insight into who’s also going to take the trophies home on Oscars night. A win in the Best Actor category for the late Chadwick Boseman (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom) would follow up his victory in the same Golden Globes category, and would be a nice touch.

The 93rd Academy Awards takes place on April 25, a couple of months later than usual due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and will be broadcasted from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
