Academy members will be voting for their nominees for the 2021 Academy Awards in the next few days, and that marks the start of Oscar week over at Film For Thought. From FYC’s, predictions, bold bets, category breakdowns and more, from today until the 10th of March, there is going to be a lot of content coming here in regards to the Oscars.
For this opening post, I thought it would be fun to cast my votes on what I would nominate in every category at the 2021 Oscars, following the shortlisted films and predicting for all 23 categories (although you will notice that for a few I have not seen enough films to pick five from the shortlist).
Without further ado, here are my personal nominees for the 2021 Academy Awards.
