In a year like no other, this year's Academy Awards will be like no other too comprised of nominees from mainly streaming platforms.
Yesterday we shone an outdoor spotlight on 2021's Netflix Oscar nominee billboards and today it's the turn of Amazon Prime Video and Warner Bros. Pictures (who released their film via HBO Max and in some cinemas).
Last year the Borat Subsequent Moviefilm introduced America (and the world) to the Kazakhstanian's daughter (played by the breakout star and Oscar-nominated Maria Bakalova) and almost saved democracy in the process. This time around Sacha Baron Cohen's creation learned more about American culture, COVID-19 and U.S. elections.
This nominee billboard for the Supporting Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay was photographed along Olympic Boulevard on March 31, 2021.
Another Amazon Prime Video movie in the running this awards season is One Night in Miami, up for three Academy Awards.
