The 2021 Oscar nominations were heralded as some of the most diverse in the show’s nearly 100-year history, but the ensuing ceremony proved that change is still warranted for the Academy’s notoriously white ranks. The biggest upset of the night was undoubtedly Anthony Hopkins’ victory, for “The Father,” over dearly departed actor, Chadwick Boseman. Boseman was the favorite to win posthumously for his devastatingly remarkable performance as Levee in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.” It was especially disappointing when the event was structured with the Best Actor Award announced last, seeming to indicate Boseman would undoubtedly win (via USA Today).
As the New York Times notes, there were still reasons to celebrate, including Chloe Zhao’s victories for Best Director and Best Picture, for her movie “Nomadland,” which marks the second consecutive Asian win following Bong Joon Ho’s for “Parasite” last year, as well as Daniel Kaluuya and Yuh-Jung Youn’s wins. Elsewhere, Black icon Tyler Perry won the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. The List spoke to body language expert Lauren Cohen about his empowering acceptance speech.
