“Nomadland” Dominates the 2021 Academy Awards with Three Wins

Fernando A — Tue, 27 Apr 2021 06:25:33 +0000

Nomadland has been on a winning streak since the begging of this year’s awards season, and its domination continued at the Academy Awards. Chloé Zhao’s critically acclaimed drama won a total of three awards, including the Oscar for the best picture.

Nomadland managed to beat the likes of Minari and The Trial of the Chicago 7 to win the best picture Oscar, but this wasn’t its only big victory of the night. Frances McDormand won her third best actress Oscar for her performance in this movie, while Chloé Zhao made history as the second woman to collect the trophy for the best director.

Anthony Hopkins made history with The Father, as the oldest person to be rewarded with the best actor Oscar. Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah) and Youn Yuh-jung (Minari) collected the trophies for their supporting performances.

The Father and Judas and the Black Messiah were amongst the movies, with a total of two awards won, together with Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Sound of Metal, Soul, and Mank. The list of major winners also included Promising Young Woman (best original screenplay) and Another Round (best international feature film).

The scaled-down 93rd Academy Awards ceremony took place at Los Angeles’ Union Station and Dolby Theatre on April 25th.

Most Important Takeaways from the 2021 BAFTA Awards

Hillary T — Mon, 12 Apr 2021 11:37:05 +0000

We’re less than two weeks away from the Academy Awards, and the BAFTAs are the last major ceremony leading up to them. This award show gave us a couple of crucial insights, and here are the most important takeaways from the night full of record-breaking surprises.

“Nomadland” For the Win

One thing that didn’t surprise us at this year’s BAFTAs was the absolute domination of Nomadland. This film cemented its status as the Oscars frontrunner after winning a total of four awards, including best film.

Chloé Zhao Makes History

The Nomadland director Chloé Zhao made history as the first woman of color to win the best director award at the BAFTAs, and we expect she’ll repeat her success at the Oscars.

Best Actress Race

The best actress category brings more uncertainty than ever this year. The BAFTAs provided zero clarity as the award went to Frances McDormand, who didn’t triumph at any other major award shows.

Hopkins Breaks Records

Chadwick Boseman is still the top contender at the Oscars, but Anthony Hopkins managed to pull a major upset at the BAFTAs and became the oldest person to win the award for the best leading actor with The Father.

2021 Academy Awards: “Mank” Leads the Way with 10 Nominations

Dave S — Tue, 16 Mar 2021 09:28:51 +0000

Due to the delay caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we spent more time than ever waiting for the Oscar nominations—but the wait is finally over. The list of contenders for the upcoming Academy Awards has been unveiled, and Mank topped it with a total of ten nods.

David Fincher’s black and white film about the making of Citizen Kane is one of the movies nominated for the best picture award. The Father, Judas and the Black Messiah, Minari, Nomadland, Promising Young Woman, Sound of Metal, and The Trial of the Chicago 7 are also in the running.

All of these films, with the exception of Promising Young Woman, scored a total of six nominations. Emerald Fennell’s black comedy is in the running for five awards, and so is Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, which missed out on the best picture nomination.

Fennell also made history alongside Chloé Zhao by receiving a nomination for the best director. This is the first time that two women are in the running in this category at the same time, and Zhao is the first woman of color to ever be nominated for this award.

After the delay caused by the ongoing global pandemic, the 93rd Academy Awards will take place on April 25th. The Academy representatives previously told Variety that an in-person telecast will happen, but we’re yet to learn the details about its format.

2021 Critics’ Choice Awards: “Nomadland” and “The Crown” Win Big

Fernando A — Tue, 09 Mar 2021 08:04:13 +0000

The frontrunners in this year’s Oscar race are becoming pretty clear, and the Critics’ Choice Awards are the latest ceremony to cement their status. Chloé Zhao’s drama Nomadland topped the list of winners in the movie categories, while the Netflix series The Crown dominated in the television field.

The triumph of Nomadland isn’t all that surprising because it comes only a week after this film topped the list of Golden Globe winners. It came out victorious in four different categories this time around—best picture, best director, best-adapted screenplay, and best cinematography.

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom followed closely with three wins, including the posthumous best actor award for Chadwick Boseman. Minari, Promising Young Woman, and The Trial of the Chicago 7 were right behind with two awards each.

The Crown repeated its Golden Globe triumph by winning four trophies—best drama and acting awards for Josh O’Connor, Emma Corrin, and Gillian Anderson in their respective categories. Apple TV’s underrated sitcom Ted Lasso was the absolute winner in the comedy field with three awards.

The 26th Critics’ Choice Awards were held on March 7th, with Taye Diggs returning to host for the third time.

2021 Golden Globes: 5 Big Wins That Will Shape the Awards Season

Nikoleta P — Mon, 01 Mar 2021 07:34:15 +0000

Another Golden Globe ceremony is behind us, with Nomadland and Borat Subsequent Moviefilm taking the top awards and The Crown reigning supreme in the TV categories. After a night full of surprises, these five big wins are set to change the course of the current award season.

Chloé Zhao’s Historic Win

Chloé Zhao made history as the second woman to ever win the best director Golden Globe with Nomadland, and it’s highly likely she’ll repeat the same success at the Oscars.

Andra Day’s Upset

Andra Day managed to beat the likes of Viola Davis and Frances McDormand thanks to her glorious performance in The United States vs. Billie Holiday and her Oscar chances are stronger than ever.

Chadwick Boseman’s Triumph

By this point in time, Chadwick Boseman is pretty much a lock to win a posthumous Oscar for his brilliant portrayal in the final movie of his career, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.

Supporting Actor Shakeup

In a pretty competitive supporting actor and actress lineup, latecomers are leading the way. Daniel Kaluuya managed to pull an upset with his supporting turn in Judas and the Black Messiah, and so did Jodie Foster with her performance in The Mauritanian.

“The Crown” Supreme

Not all of the big moments of the night were that surprising, and that’s the case with the triumph of The Crown. Its big wins cemented its status as the top contender at the upcoming SAG Awards and Emmys.
