The 93rd Academy Awards took place on April 25 in Los Angeles, in a COVID-safe event that saw Angela Bassett, Halle Berry, Bong Joon Ho, Don Cheadle, Bryan Cranston, Laura Dern, Harrison Ford, Regina King, Marlee Matlin, Rita Moreno, Joaquin Phoenix, Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, and Zendaya among those who will be presenting awards across the various Oscars categories.
The list of presenters was reflective of how diverse the nominees were in 2021 — record-breakingly so.
Just as with the Golden Globes, the Best Director category saw history be made as two female directors earned nominations — Chloé Zhao for Nomadland and Emerald Fennell for Promising Young Woman. Zhao and Fennell are only the sixth and seventh women to ever be nominated for the Best Director nod, with Kathryn Bigelow the only one to have ever won — for The Hurt Locker in 2010.
Additionally, non-white performers also saw higher representation, with Daniel Kaluuya, LaKeith Stanfield, Youn Yuh-jung, Viola Davis, Andra Day, Riz Ahmed, Steven Yeun, and the late Chadwick Boseman all earning nominations across the acting categories.
When it comes to the films nominated for Best Picture, The Father, Judas and the Black Messiah, Mank, Minari, Nomadland, Promising Young Woman, Sound of Metal, and The Trial of the Chicago 7 all received recognition — showcasing a diverse range of voices and the stories they have to tell.
