There’s nothing terribly shocking here. As usual, we have a few egregious snubs. (No Delroy Lindo for Da 5 Bloods is disappointing but expected given the way this award season has gone.) A few surprises. (Love and Monsters. Yeah, it’s for effects, but a little horror movie not many people saw? Cool.) And, of course, a few absolute head scratchers. (I’m curious how neither of the characters named in the title Judas and the Black Messiah qualify as a lead actor—I maintain that Daniel Kaluuya is the real lead despite being campaigned as supporting by the studio. Either way, both are great.)

A little history was made. This is the first time two women have ever been nominated for best director. (Chloe Zhao for Nomadland and Emerald Fennell for Promising Young Woman.) Two black women were nominated or best actress (Viola Davis in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and Andra Day for The United States vs. Billie Holiday.) With Minari, Steven Yeun becomes the first Asian American best actor nominee. Among other firsts. Progress is slow, but the Academy will surely pat themselves on the back for modest steps.
