Oscars 2021: Final Predictions For Nominations In Every Category

20. Best Documentary Feature

Promising Young Woman Ma Rainey's Black Bottom Sound of Metal
Netflix

NOMINEES:

All In: The Fight for Democracy

Collective

Dick Johnson Is Dead

Time

Welcome to Chechnya

The Best Documentary field is often akin to throwing darts at a dartboard, where even the most acclaimed and feted documentaries of the year fail to secure nominations.

Still, it's tough to picture the widely lauded Collective, Time, or Welcome to Chechnya missing out, and Dick Johnson Is Dead will benefit massively from its visibility on Netflix.

But there are so many other strong contenders - Boys State, The Truffle Hunters, and Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution in particular - that the final five could easily look quite different.
