Oscars 2021 – The 93rd Annual Academy Awards – Nominees and Winners

The Oscars 2021 were better than others. I always thought that Oscars have to be awarded to movies close to spectacular, and to outstanding performances or deeds. This rarely happens, and unfortunately, that won’t happen again. Thus I greatly appreciate the persons involved, they exert a great effort from the project’s beginning to its end, even if the result is not the best movie ever. If the result is trash, it means they didn’t work enough, and they aren’t worth mentioning. They wouldn’t be considered for nomination. There are always exceptions, of course.
