There were 70 women with 76 nominations, a record for any given year.
Tyler Perry was given the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for his dedication to creating a safe work environment during the ongoing pandemic; his Camp Quarantine was a 30-page plan for work bubble safety and health compliance. And we have the first Korean actress to win the Best Supporting Actress category. Plus a half Pinay R&B singer takes home an Oscar for her co-writing credit for Best Original Song.
In a March article, I gave you my predictions and “steals”, plus made a few changes after the BAFTA; so let’s see what my prognosticating skills amounted to:
