After a historical year, we still have a list of 2021 Oscar Nominations. The Oscars will for sure look a bit different this time around. The pandemic halted production on many movie sets last year. Because of this, release dates were pushed back and delayed. We then saw how these events carried over into the movie theater market and streaming world. It was a very tough year for cinemas. However, many of us watched movies and shows that got released exclusively on streaming services.
Theater chains are now hoping that vaccines will result in audience members going to see movies in person. With that said, we will thankfully still have an Academy Awards ceremony. Here are the 2021 Oscar Nominations for some of the major categories.
