Correction: Best picture nominees for the 2021 Academy Awards are “The Father,” “Judas and the Black Messiah,” “Mank,” “Minari,” “Nomadland,” “Promising Young Woman,” “Sound of Metal” and “The Trial of the Chicago 7.” An earlier version misstated the titles.
The 93rd Academy Awards nominees have been been announced and eight films will fight for the best picture trophy this year. The nomination season was a strange one, as movie theaters were shuttered because of the Covid pandemic for much of the eligibility period.
Who was the first Muslim actor to be nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards?
Sound of Metal. Riz Ahmed made history by becoming the first Muslim actor to be nominated for the Best Actor category at the Academy Awards. Along with this historic nomination, the film has garnered five more, including Best Supporting Actor for Paul Raci, Best Original Screenplay, Best Film Editing, and Best Sound.
This Academy Award nominated animated feature film explores a rarely dealt-with topic in children’s movies, overcoming the loss of a loved one and the different ways people cope with grief. The American-Chinese film follows Fei Fei, who struggles to deal with the loss of her mother to a terminal illness. To make sense of her loss, she decides to build a rocket and travel to the Moon so that she can prove the existence of the mythical lunar goddess Chang’e, whose stories her mother raised her on. She does so to prove to the world that it’s OK to believe in these seemingly unrealistic beliefs and practices, including grieving for her mother. The Netflix original stars John Cho, Sandra Oh, Cathy Ans, and Ken Jeong.
How many Academy Awards did Amazon win in 2017?
Back at the 2017 ceremony, Amazon won three Academy Awards — two for “Manchester by the Sea” (Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay) and one for the international feature “The Salesman.” (Netflix won its first Oscar that year for the documentary short “White Helmets.”)
Amazon Prime. While Netflix draws so much awards attention each year because of its robust slate of movies from top-tier directors, it was Amazon Prime Video that actually became the first streaming platform to ever win an Oscar for a narrative feature.
The feature directorial debut from Oscar-winning actress Regina King, “One Night in Miami” is the fictional account of a real-life evening in February 1964 when Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir), Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom Jr.), Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge), and Cassius Clay (Eli Goree) celebrated Clay’s heavyweight championship victory. Over the course of the evening, the four icons of the civil rights movement discuss the Black experience in America and their role in affecting progressive change. “One Night In Miami” is expected to compete in a number of major Oscars categories, including Best Picture, Best Director for King, and Best Supporting Actor for Odom.
Co-directed by two-time Oscar nominee Liz Garbus (“What Happened, Miss Simone?,” “The Farm: Angola USA”) and Lisa Cortes , “All In” explores the deep history of voter suppression in America and prominently features an interview with Georgia political activist and progressive leader Stacey Abrams.
Directed by Garrett Bradley, the critically acclaimed documentary “Time” has generated significant awards heat since its debut at the Sundance Film Festival last year and could potentially make history for Bradley were it to win at the 2021 Oscars.
Oscar-winning filmmaker Steve McQueen’s five-film anthology is not eligible at the 2021 Oscars, but the collection of features — from the critically acclaimed “Lovers Rock” to the courtroom drama “Mangrove” — is expected to compete at the Golden Globes and Emmy Awards in major categories thanks to its top-flight production pedigree.
