Last night, the Grammy Awards were handed out in a socially distanced award show. If you're already jonesing for some more sweet, sweet celebrations of celebrities, here are the nominees for the 2021 Academy Awards.
David Fincher's Mank leads the nominees with a combined 10 nominations across all categories. Meanwhile, Nomadland's Chloé Zhao and Promising Young Woman's Emerald Fennell were both nominated for Best Director, marking the first time in history that two women have been named in the category.
Zhao is also the first-ever Chinese woman to be nominated for Best Director. Similarly, Steven Yeun, who was nominated for Minari, is the first Asian-American actor to be nominated in the Best Actor category. Riz Ahmed, who was nominated for The Sound of Metal, is the first Muslim nominated for the same category.
Sacha Baron Cohen also picked up plenty of praise for Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, while Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross nabbed two noms for their work on Soul.
