Here Are All the 2021 Oscar Winners and Where You Can Watch Them

It’s hard to believe the Oscars went ahead as normal last year. Remember when Parasite won Best Picture? Yeah, that was only a year ago. Anyway, things looked a little different for the Academy Awards this year, but ahead they went.

On March 16, the 2021 Oscar nominations were announced. Buzz-worthy favourites like Promising Young Woman and Mank got nods, plus Netflix cleaned up with a whopping 35 nominations. Chloe Zhao also made history as the first female director of Asian descent to score a best director nomination (now win) for Nomadland.

If you haven’t caught up just yet, here’s every film that received a nomination, and which titles won the big nods.
