Written by KingCnote on March 16, 2021
Here are the nominees for the Academy Awards, which Priyanka Chopra-Jonas and Nick Jonas just finished announcing. Because so few films actually hit theaters this year, eligibility was expanded to streaming-TV films. The Oscars air live on ABC on April 25th.
Some notable snubs include director Regina King (One Night in Miami), Jodie Foster (The Mauritanian), Delroy Lindo (Da 5 Bloods), Tom Hanks (Greyhound, News of the World), Alan Kim (Minari), and Jared Leto (The Little Things).
