Last March 15, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas revealed the full list of nominees for this year’s Oscars. Despite the pandemic’s effect of cinema closures for over a year, the 93rd Academy Awards is pushing through to celebrate the best films.
The Oscars are usually anticipated every February or March, so this year’s April celebration is noticeably delayed.
