Oscars 2021: nomination e vincitori

Le nomination sono finalmente arrivate e sì, Laura Pausini ce l'ha fatta: è ufficialmente nominata all'Oscar per la Miglior canzone. Sono ancora abbastanza scioccato dalla notizia, ma fa comunque piacere riconoscere qualche nome italiano tra i nominati ("Pinocchio" di Garrone ha ricevuto due nomination).
Per il resto le cose sono andate abbastanza secondo programma e, finalmente, pare esserci uno spiraglio dal punto di vista dell'inclusività su molteplici fronti (etnico e di genere in primis). Alcuni elementi da menzionare: la categoria Miglior sonoro, fino all'anno scorso divisa in due sub-categorie (montaggio e mixaggio), da questa edizione è stata incorporata in un unico gruppo; Viola Davis è l'attrice di colore che ha ottenuto più nomination nella storia degli Academy Awards grazie a questa quarta candidatura per il film Netflix "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom"; per la prima volta due donne sono candidate nella categoria Miglior regia (Chloé Zhao e Emerald Fennell); come già sappiamo, Laura Pausini è nominata per "Io Si (Seen)", canzone portante del film "La vita davanti a sé" di Edoardo Ponti. La Pausini condivide la nomination con Diane Warren che, al momento, ha collezzionato 12 candidature e nessuna vittoria (questo dovrebbe essere l'anno buono); e a proposito di una valanga di nomination e ancora (vergognosamente) 0 statuette, Glenn Close è candidata come Miglior attrice non protagonista per "Hillbilly Elegy" stesso ruolo per cui, curiosamente è candidata anche ad un Razzie Award come Peggior attrice non protagonista. Vedremo cosa succederà il 25 aprile quando si terrà la cerimonia, anche quest'anno senza un presentatore.
