The nominations are finally here. After a whirlwind year at the movies when so many films were delayed or even canceled from their original release dates and many more found audiences through streaming platforms and video on demand services, we finally have a list of the nominees for recognition in 23 categories.

Below you'll find a list of all the films, actors, directors, and other filmmakers nominated for Academy Awards this year. Today's post is just a quick summary of the nominees. Throughout the rest of March and into April, I will be providing daily posts about the nominees in each category, wrapping up with individual summaries of the Best Picture nominees in the weeks leading up to the 93rd Academy Award ceremony on April 25th.

Links below in film titles are for trailers. Films available through streaming services are linked with that service's name. Many of these films are available on services you probably already pay for, so get out there and watch some of these incredible films before the awards are handed out next month!
