Oscars 2021: India out of Oscars race as Academy unveils shorlists in 9 categories

As date approaches for the Oscars 2021 ceremony that is scheduled for April 25, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed its shortlists for the 2021 Oscars in nine categories. 

These categories include documentary, international features, original score, original song, makeup and hairstyling, visual effects, and documentary, live-action and animated short.

A massive total of 238 documentary features and 93 international features were contending for just 15 shortlisted names in each of these categories for Oscars 2021.

The shortlist for original score includes Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who were recognized both for their work on longtime collaborator David Fincher’s 1940-set period biopic ‘Mank’ and Pixar’s animated ‘Soul’, for which they created music of the ‘Great Before.’ 

Oscar 2021 probables that you can now watch at home

Oscar-winner John Legend got two nods for his original song ‘Never Break’ from the doc Giving Voice and ‘Make It Work’ from Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey. That shortlist also includes ‘Io Si (Seen)’ from The Life Ahead, composed by 11-time Academy Award nominee Diane Warren.

Due to the pandemic, which caused many tentpoles to move from 2020 to 2021, this will be the first year since 2009 that the VFX shortlist doesn’t contain at least one Marvel movie. The list includes ‘The Midnight Sky’ and ‘Tenet’.

Among the high profile category of best international feature, films from countries Bosnia, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Iran, Ivory Coast, Mexico, Romania, Norway, Russia, Taiwan and Tunisia made it to the top 15. India’s entry to Oscars for the best international feature film category lost out. India had sent Lijo Jose Pellissery’s ‘Jallikattu’ as this year’s entry. 

In Live-Action Short Film, India has ‘Bittu’ in the shortlisted names.
