The Trial of the Chicago 7 is among the Best Picture nominees.

Nominees for the 93rd Academy Awards came out Monday morning, keeping the 2021 awards show train rolling hours after the Grammys wrapped up. Power couple Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas announced the nominations from London, with the latter dressed in an excellent gold suit.
