Oscar Noms: ‘Mank’ Leads With 10 Nominations; ‘Trial of the Chicago 7’ Nabs 6

David Fincher’s “Mank” led the nominations for the 93rd Academy Awards. The Netflix drama about the making of “Citizen Kane” scored 10 nominations, while Netflix’s other Oscar juggernaut, “Trial of the Chicago 7,” nabbed six noms.

In fact, six films scored six nominations — a group that includes “The Father,” “Judas and the Black Messiah,” “Minari,” “Nomadland,” “Sound of Metal,” and “The Trial of the Chicago 7.”

Here are the 2021 Oscars in stats and history-making:

Netflix dominated with a leading 35 nominations, 11 more than last year’s 24. Its list of awards hopefuls includes “Pieces of a Woman,” “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” “Mank,” and “Crip Camp.”

For the first time two women, Emerald Fennell (“Promising Young Woman”) and Chloe Zhao (“Nomadland”), are up for best director. They become only the sixth and seventh women ever nominated in the category. Asian-American Zhao is the first woman of color to be nominated for directing.

The 2021 contenders are the most diverse group of acting nominees in the Academy’s nearly century long history.

Glenn Close is one of three actors to be nominated for an Oscar and Razzie for the same performance.

Chadwick Boseman, who is widely expected to pick up the best actor statue for his work as a brilliant jazz musician in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” is the seventh performer to receive a posthumous nomination.

Lakeith Stanfield nabbed a supporting actor nomination for his performance as an FBI informant in “Judas and the Black Messiah” despite being largely ignored by other awards bodies like SAG and the Golden Globes.

“The Trial of the Chicago 7’s” Aaron Sorkin was shut out from the best director race and Regina King’s “One Night at Miami” failed to score best picture or director nods. Instead, Danish director Thomas Vinterberg was a surprise director nominee for the comedy “Another Round.” Jodie Foster, who recently scored a Globe for “The Mauritanian,” came up short in the best supporting actress race.”
