Finally, the nominations for this year’s 93rd Academy Awards, Oscars 2021, have been announced. And David Fincher’s Mank is already leading!
On Monday, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and her husband and musician Nick Jonas announced the contenders for Oscars 2021. Comedy/Drama Mank outperformed every other contender to emerge as the most-nominated title.
The movie revolves around the story of screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz.
‘Mank’ leading with ten nominations in Oscars 2021
The drama stars Gary Oldman in the leading role of screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz. His character tries to finish the iconic Citizen Kane in the era of 1930s.
The Netflix film has already received a lot of critical acclaim since its release. And it should come as no surprise that it’s now ahead in the nominations, with ten nods.
Oscars 2021 nominees also included Apple TV + titles such Wolfwalkers and Greyhound. It’s a significant accomplishment for the company to have its two entries in the race.
