In a year in which COVID-19 pandemic shuttered movie theatres for months, Academy Awards nominations went to two female filmmakers for the first time & a historically diverse slate of actors. However, ultimately, David Fincher’s Mank, a very traditional contender about Hollywood itself, took the lead. Fincher’s Mank, a black-and-white, period drama about Citizen Kane screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz, easily topped nominations for the 93rd Academy Awards. It got 10 nominations, including best picture, best director, acting nods for Gary Oldman and Amanda Seyfried, and a host of others for its lavish craft. Six each were scored by six films, all of which are also up for best picture -Judas and the Black Messiah, Nomadland, Minari, Sound of Metal, The Trial of the Chicago 7 and The Father. History was made in the best director category. Only five women have ever been nominated before & for the first time, two were this year. Chloé Zhao got a nod for her elegiac road-trip drama Nomadland alongside first-time feature filmmaker Fennell for her pitch black #MeToo revenge comedy. Zhao, the first Asian woman nominated for best director, is the most nominated woman in a single year in Oscar history. Watch the video to know more about the nominations.
