The nominations for the 93rd Annual Academy Awards have been announced and… I actually like almost all the nominees?! Sayeth whaaaaaat!
Mank leads the pack with 10 nominations. I’m not going to say that they weren’t well deserved, but I could list off plenty of other films nominated this year that deserved more nominations than Mank. Oh well, Hollywood just loves to foam at the mouth over Citizen Kane. What can a guy do?

And those are your noms for the 2021 Oscars! Who do you want to see win? Personally, I wouldn’t mind Sacha Baron Cohen winning just on the off-chance that he accepts the award as Borat and we find out that it was actually Borat who starred in The Trial of the Chicago 7. A man can dream, right?
The 93rd Annual Academy Awards will air on April 25, 2021.
