We may still be thinking about this year's unusual Grammy Awards, but it's already time to focus on the next big show of awards season: the 2021 Academy Awards.
The 93rd annual Oscars ceremony is scheduled to go down on April 25, more than two months later than last year's show. Like most regularly-scheduled events in the past year, it's going to be a weird one, especially considering that most movie theaters have been empty since social distancing guidelines were first set into place.
Many movies were postponed in 2020, and just about everything went straight to streaming platforms. But even under the strange circumstances, cinephiles still found ways to enjoy film this year, from screen-sharing programs like Teleparty to unconventional setups like drive-ins and outdoor theaters. The movie industry certainly took a beating in 2020, but there were still some great films to come out of the year, and some great talent to acknowledge.
This year's Academy Award nominations include a number of milestones. For the first time in Oscars history, two actors of Asian descent are up for the Best Actor: Riz Ahmed and Stephen Yeun for their roles in Sound of Metal and Minari, respectively (Ahmed is also the first-ever Muslim nominee in the category).
Andra Day (The United States vs. Billie Holiday) and Viola Davis' (Ma Rainey's Black Bottom) nominations for Best Actress mark the first time two Black women have received simultaneous nods in that category in nearly half a century.
Also for the first time in history, two women are up for Best Director: Chloé Zhao received a nod for her bohemian drama Nomadland, while Emerald Fennell was acknowledged for her revenge thriller Promising Young Woman.
Check out all this year's Oscar nominees below, and tune into the show on April 25.
