Sorry Folks, No Image Is Here.

2021 Academy Awards Nominations were announced this morning and like always, there were some surprises and snubs in there. Mank leads with the most nominations but Nomadland, The Trial of the Chicago 7, Minari, The Father, and Sound of Metal are close behind. I’m surprised not to see One Night in Miami and Regina King up for Best Picture and Director. Everyone is screaming on Twitter that Delroy Lindo should have been nominated for Da 5 Bloods, which I haven’t seen yet. I haven’t seen a lot of these yet but I got some time. The Academy Awards will air on April 25th 2021.

Guess Steven Yeun wasn’t too sad to leave The Walking Dead after all right? Soul and Onward were nominated for Best Animated but think Soul will have some tough competition with Wolfwalkers. Happy to see LaKeith Stanfield up for a nomination in Judas and the Black Messiah. Maria Bakalova was nominated which is huge and she should win just for the fact that she had to deal with Rudy. I’m happy Leslie Odom, Jr got nominated for supporting actor and for the song “Speak Now.” Been listening to that song like crazy since seeing the movie. I have a feeling the Oscars will be split up with a lot of the movies that were nominated and not one movie will dominate.
