The first step towards the Oscars celebration is here. The nominees that will be considered during the ceremony on the 25th of April are here. As usual, the talk is going around on how Delroy Lindo was snubbed for his outstanding performance in “Da 5 Bloods” as well as one of my personal favorites of 2020 Elizabeth Moss in “The Invisible Man”. However, it must be said that the selection of nominees has some remarkable participants this year and it will be a treat to enjoy the show and see who takes the gold home this time. Are you happy with the 2021 nominees? Is there someone who should have been here instead? Tell us all about it!
