The Oklahoma-made movie Minari continued its strong awards season run this morning as the 2021 Oscar nominations were announced this morning. Minari, which was filmed in Tulsa in 2019, has been nominated for six Academy Awards, including best picture, and a history-making best actor nod for Steven Yeun, who becomes the first Asian-American ever nominated for a best actor Oscar.
Writer-director Lee Isaac Chung, who loosely based Minari on his own childhood, earned nods for best director and best original screenplay when Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas revealed the nominations this morning. Plus, Youn Yuh-jung is nominated for best supporting actress and Emile Mosseri for best original score.

Awards shows are generally overblown affairs, which is part of why we ask a seasoned cultural critic like Ashley Spurgeon to take a poke at the big ones when they come around. (Sadly, Spurgeon wasn’t available this weekend, so no Oh Balls™ recap this time.) But the messages they send get to a huge audience regardless. It’s good to see a focus on the work of women, Black people and other people of color among the slate of nominees and winners just a couple of years after The Recording Academy’s then-leader responded to criticism by telling women they needed to “step up” if they wanted to be recognized.
