93rd Oscar nominations announced

Nominations for the 93rd Academy Awards have been announced, and Mank leads the way with 10 nominations, followed by The Father, Judas and the Black Messiah, Minari, Nomadland, Sound of Metal, and The Trial of the Chicago 7 with six each.

Film eligibility was extended due to the COVID pandemic, with the Oscar calendar year extended to February 28th. The Oscars also made two category changes as far as we can tell. The two sound-related categories, Sound Editing and Sound Mixing, have now been collapsed into a single Best Sound category. In addition, the Best Makeup and Hairstyling award has been expanded from three to five nominees, matching most of the other categories.

The awards ceremony will be held on Sunday, April 25, 2021. For those trying to keep track of which Oscar-nominated films you’ve seen, we’ve created a handy Excel spreadsheet to track.

That will also kick off the beginning of the 2020 Cosmique Movie Awards. Nominations will begin on April 25th so that those cramming in Oscar nominees before their ceremony can then consider those films for the Cosmos.
