Los Angeles: The Oscars Awards 2021 happened on Monday morning. As opposed to how the world is operating these days owing to the coronavirus scare, the Academy decided to conduct a non-virtual ceremony of the biggest movie awards night. The Oscars were held at two locations in Los Angeles this year – Union Station and Dolby Theatre.
Leading the ceremony this year was Mank with 10 nominations, followed by six nominations each for The Father, Judas And The Black Messiah, Minari, Nomadland, Sound of Metal, and The Trial of the Chicago 7. While Mank won big, Nomadland’s victory went down in history as director Chloe Zhao became the first woman of colour to win the Best Director award at the Oscars. The film also won the Best Picture award. The Father, Judas And The Black Messiah, Sound of Metal, Soul and Minari also won in major categories at the 93rd Academy Awards.
