Listen, I have a gig tonight.

I can't die now.

Hey, everyone, I'm Rebecca and welcome to watch Mojo.

Today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 movies you'll see at the 2021 Oscars.

What you all say, Don't count with me.

You understand?

Ma, listen to her, huh?

Well, listen to the voice inside her.

That's what comes with a nice guy.

Are you for this list?

We're looking at movies that will more than likely be nominated at the 93rd Academy Awards.

Quite a few of these could actually even be in the best picture race.

What movie do you hope to see recognized at the 2021 Oscars?

Be sure to let us know in the comments.

All right, let's get to it.

And number 10 Sound of metal.

Many outlets, including Gold Derby, have compared sound of metal to whiplash.

This isn't merely because the two films have drummers in common.

Both of these critical darling started off fairly small, but they kept making more noise as award season rolled along.

At this point, Reyes Ahmed seems all but guaranteed a best actor nomination for his committed performance, which he spent eight months preparing for Paul races.

Deeply emotional supporting work has also been a favorite among critics.

Propose.

As you know, everybody here shares in the belief that being deaf is not a handicap, not something to fix.

Assuming the academy loves the film as much as critics, it could score nominations in other key categories, like best director, best original screenplay and best editing.

If there's one Oscar the film absolutely deserves to win, though, it's for its integral use of sound.

Number 9 to 5 Bloods.

We honestly have no idea why Spike Lee's latest masterpiece got zero Golden Globe nominations.

Although this gave us some pause, Our confidence was restored when the film received three nominations at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, including one for its ensemble Over the Damn Place.

The war drama had an impressive showing at the Critics' Choice Movie awards as well, with six nominations, most notably to five Bloods won the National Board of Review Awards for best film Jesus, I think I think I said the throughout the 21st century.

Almost every recipient of this award has gone on to be nominated for best picture, the two exceptions being Quills and a most violent year.

While this bodes well for the film's Oscar chances, we sincerely hope the Academy doesn't overlook Delroy Lindo as phenomenal lead performance on blood.

Goddamn Well, yeah, we don't see you standing in the end.

Number eight.

The father Why you keep looking as if there's something wrong.

Everything is fine.

Anthony Hopkins won best actor almost 30 years ago for his iconic performance in The Silence of the Lambs.

In a significant departure from Hannibal Lecter, Hopkins plays one of his most sympathetic characters in the Father.

Hopkins is nothing short of heartbreaking as an aging man suffering from dementia, making him a formidable contender for best actor.

Oh, I was a dancer.

Who are you?

Yes, Dad.

What?

You're an engineer?

Likewise, fellow Oscar winner Olivia Colman seems like a safe bet for a best supporting actress nomination.

Saw in his eyes, didn't know who I was like I was a stranger to We might just see a rematch between Coleman and Glenn Close.

I'm talking about a chance you might not make it, but you're sure as hell won't if you don't try The father could also mark the first nomination for writer director Florian Zeller, who adapted the film from his acclaimed stage play with a Golden Globe nomination for best motion picture drama Oscar Voters will surely remember this one Number seven, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.

Between his supporting performance into five Bloods and his leading work in Ma Rainey, Chadwick, Boseman could become the first person to receive two posthumous Oscar nominations for acting in one year.

I can say Yes, sir, whoever I please, what you got to do with it.

I know how to handle white folks.

I've been handing them for 32 years.

Now you're gonna tell me how to do it?

We think the late actor has a strong chance at winning best actor for this film, which would put him in the same league as legends like Peter Finch and Heath Ledger.

Viola Davis may also win best actress for her transformative performance as the titular singer.

What you all say, Don't count with me, you understand?

Ma, listen to her heart won't listen to the voice inside her.

That's what comes with Mom.

If this were to happen, it would be the second year in history that the lead acting Oscars both went to African American performers were Down South and Alabama.

I got a friend of call dancing.

In addition to tech categories like costumes and makeup, nominations for best adapted screenplay and picture are in the cards as well.

Number 61 Night in Miami with To SAG nominations, three Golden Globe nominations and five critics Choice nominations One night in Miami should be up for several Oscars.

Leslie Odom Jr of Hamilton could even score to one for his supporting performances.

Sam Cooke and another for co writing the original songs Speak now, fellas, I'm just saying, Can we at least go someplace happened?

The entire city of Miami is celebrating Caches win.

If modem wins either or both, we'll just need an Emmy to achieve EGOT status.

Regina King, who recently won best supporting actress, may become the first woman of color to be nominated for best director.

Being such a dialogue driven film, we suspect Kemp Powers has best adapted screenplay in the bag.

The one question is, if Kingsley been a deer and Eli Goree will split votes and best actor Oh, you goddamn right I have 210 and a half pounds of trouble boys, and what they didn't know is when they weighed me in a half pound of it wasn't even me.

Hopefully, at least one of them gets in Number five.

Bank.

At this year's Golden Globes and Critics Choice awards, Manc garnered the most nominations with six and 12, respectively.

Oz.

Graciano bodies Not for Mr How are You doing $1 million a year.

We spend on stories we never even film.

Why not?

I'll tell you.

They don't make me cry.

Don't be surprised if it leads the pack when the Oscar nominations are announced.

This isn't to say the film will win best picture.

After all, neither did Citizen Kane.

Nevertheless, the academy may decide it's finally time to grant David Fincher and overdue Oscar for best director.

Since the film is about an historic screenwriter, we could also see a posthumous, best original screenplay win for Jack Fincher, the director's father.

You asked me what my acceptance speech might have been.

Well, here goes.

Gary Oldman is on the right track for a best actor nomination, and despite getting snubbed at Sag, Amanda Seyfried is still in the best supporting actress conversation.

I need a favor, but you're going to have to promise you won't left.

Number four.

Promising Young woman promising Young Woman is another Oscar hopeful that keeps gaining momentum and rightfully so.

Of course, we always knew that Carey Mulligan would be in the mix for her captivating performance.

I guess I couldn't stop thinking about my time here.

Yeah, that's an extraordinary place.

This dark dramedy performed even better than some expected with the Golden Globes.

However, not only was Mulligan nominated for best actress, but the film got in for best director, screenplay and motion picture drama as well.

I think you should go with a second ago you were determined.

For me to start, you're pretty insistent.

Are select Well, the nice guy Are you a few Oscar ologists Believe it could go further at the Academy Awards?

Clayton Davis, a variety, suspects that a best supporting actor nomination for Bo Burnham might be one of the surprises we see.

Don't do any damage.

Me.

It would certainly make up for Burnham's eighth grade omission.

In any case, the film's Oscar prospects are looking promising.

Indeed, Number three minnery parasite was a milestone for Asian representation at the Oscars, winning best international film, original screenplay, director and picture.

The one downside is that the film received no acting nominations.

Even though it's Ensemble one at Sag, Minnery shouldn't go overlooked by the academy's actors branch Stephen Young and you know, Jang seemed to be in prime positions for nominations in best actor and supporting actress, respectively.

A best actress bid for Hunyady or a best supporting actor non for young Alan Kim doesn't seem too far fetched, either.

Lee Isaac Chung, Maybe looking at multiple nominations for his screenplay and direction, we would not be surprised if Minnery went all the way like Parasite, especially with 10 nominations at Critics' Choice and three at SAG Number two Nomad Land.

We're going to hear Chloe Zhao's name a lot on Oscar nomination morning.

In addition to directing Nomad Land, she served as its screenwriter, editor and co producer.

That's four potential nominations for her alone.

So when do you need to get back to work Now?

If the Golden Globes are any indication, Zhao could be nominated for best director alongside Regina King and Emerald Fennell.

It would be a landmark for female directors.

Considering that Frances McDormand is a producer on Nomad Land, she may also receive a pair of nominations in actress and picture.

No, I'm not homeless.

I'm just house Liss.

Not the same thing, right?

The one thing that might be standing in the way of a best picture victory is that the film wasn't nominated for Sags Cast Award.

Then again, Brave Heart, Shape of Water and Green Book overcame that hurdle.

Will Nomad Land be the fourth film to do so?

It's like my dad used to say What's remembered lives.

I may be spent too much of my life just remembering.

There is one movie we have deemed to be Oscar bait above everything else because it has everything.

An All Star cast, a powerful true story and a big name writing and directing.

I think you know what it is.

Let's look through some honorable mentions, and then we'll see news of the world.

Will Helena's angle be among this year's youngest nominees?

Come on, you can't stay out here.

You come here.

Judas and the Black Messiah.

Daniel Calleja is looking at his second Oscar nomination.

I don't know how I feel about going up in there without my pistol.

Right?

Best you stay behind their soul.

A lock for best animated feature.

But when will Pixar when?

Best picture already.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Listen, I have a gig tonight.

I can't die now, Emma.

Movies like this were tailor made for best costume design.

Whenever you are transplanted like me, Miss Woodhouse, you will understand how very delightful it is to meet with anything at all.

That reminds one of what one has left behind another round.

The inevitable frontrunner for best international feature film as I am and firefighters pulled at Manhattan doesn't help Emily Blues.

Yeah, so leave me a slob.

Something may happen.

Potato Mustique.

Number one, The trial of the Chicago seven.

How much is it worth?

You?

What's your price to call off the revolution?

What's your price?

My life Coming off a year as difficult as 2020 the academy will likely crown a film that best reflects the zeitgeist is Nomad Land that film?

Perhaps, Since the actors branch makes up the biggest portion of the academy, though, voters may gravitate towards a timely ensemble piece instead.

The trial of the Chicago seven is another movie of the moment, touching upon protests, riots, police violence and a flawed legal system winning elections.

That's the first thing on your wish list.

Equality, justice, education, poverty and progress their second.

If you don't win elections, it doesn't matter what second, and it is astonishing to me that someone still has to explain that to you.

It also has an all Star cast on its side, whether or not the academy embraces Borat.

Subsequent movie film Sasha Baron Cohen's spot on portrayal of Abbie Hoffman could net him a best supporting actor win.

You have contempt for your government, I'll tell you, Mr Schulz is nothing compared to the contempt my government has for me.

Having received all the key nominations at Sag, Critics' Choice and the Golden Globes, Aaron Sorkin's film might be the Oscar frontrunner Blaster Cultural Douglas W.

Jackson.

19 years, There will be order private first past William Melvin Johnson, 20 years.

So how many of these have you seen so far?

And how many are you planning to see?

Last year I told myself that I was going to watch all the Oscar movies, and I made a pretty good dent.

So I am going to use this list is kind of a checklist.
