Oscar 2021 Predictions: Who Will Be Nominated for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Actress?

The season, like everything else these days, is set to unfold in a few unprecedented ways. The Oscars had no choice but to adapt to the rapidly changing landscape of the film – cinemas around the world remained closed for much of last year in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Blockbusters became an endangered species. All eyes turned instead to the world of streaming, where Netflix, Disney and Warner Bros (with their new HBO Max service) shut their horns in a battle for supremacy. And now, for the first time in history, films released in theaters without qualifications are eligible for the Oscars. The ceremony itself has also been postponed for a month, giving the studios an extended window of time to prepare and release potential competitors – it is now scheduled for April 25, 2021.
