Oh My Oscars: The Nominations
The Oscars, one of the most prestigious film award ceremonies, is set to occur on Sunday, April 25th. The annual celebration of spectacular cinema was previously postponed due to the pandemic, but is now planned to proceed with a limited in-person audience at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, and a limited in-person audience at Union Station in Los Angeles.
Streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime take credit for this year’s major film distributions, as movie theaters across the countries were closed due to COVID-19. Netflix Originals like “Mank” and “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” as well as Hulu Originals like “Nomadland,” received Best Picture nods, by virtue of The Academy’s new rules regarding the allowance of streaming service original films. These are the nominations for the top prizes.
