Final ballots are due by Friday, July 30, 2021.

Nominations were announced for the 2020 Cosmique Movie Awards on Wednesday, and Wonder Woman 1984 leads with 16 nominations, followed by Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and Promising Young Woman with 12 each, Mulan (2020) with nine, and Mank and Tenet with eight each.

Though Wonder Woman 1984’s nominations don’t come close to the record set by Wonder Woman in 2017, it was enough to give director Patty Jenkins enough points to squeak in a Best Director nomination.
