2021 Academy Award Nominations: The Complete List

The 2021 Academy Award Nominations were announced via closed set this morning by actress Priyanka Chopra and her husband, singer/actor Nick Jonas.

This year’s Oscar broadcast (celebrating the 93rd Academy Awards) will take place in-person from multiple locations including its usual home — The Dolby Theatre — on Sunday April 25. The ceremony, naturally, was pushed back from its original and usual February 28 date due to COVID-19 restrictions in the state of California. The broadcast will air on ABC.

The following are 2021 Oscar Nominations (credit: Variety) — Marisa Carpico and Matt Taylor will have a complete breakdown of the nominees on an upcoming episode of the Way Too Early Oscar Podcast which streams on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Anchor.
