When it comes to sure things, Nomadland has seemed like the favorite in the Best Picture category for months now. The film, which is now streaming on Hulu, was nominated for Best Picture in addition to several other categories, including Best Director for Chloe Zhao and Best Actress in a Leading Role for Frances McDormand.
Mank led all films in nominations with 10 total, including Best Picture and Best Actor in a Leading Role, for which Gary Oldman is nominated. The Best Actor category is historic this year, including the first Asian-American actor (Steve Yeun) and the first Muslim actor (Riz Ahmed) ever nominated.
