Who will be presenting the 2021 Academy Award nominations?

Power couple Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas will announce the nominees in all 23 categories.

Though we best know Jonas for his music with the Jonas Brothers, he's dipped his toes in the acting world by appearing in "Jumanji," "Scream Queens" and, of course, "Camp Rock." As for Chopra, she's moved on from her roles in "Baywatch" and "Quantico," and most recently appeared in "The White Tiger."

Who are the front-runners for the 2021 Oscars?

Well, we can take a look at the 2021 Golden Globe winners and SAG Award nominees for hints at who the Academy might be honoring this year.

At the SAG Awards, the following films were nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture: "Da 5 Bloods," "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom," "Minari," "One Night In Miami..." and "The Trial of the Chicago 7."

And at the Globes, "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm" won for Best Musical or Comedy and its leading man, Sacha Baron Cohen, took home the acting award. Rosamund Pike and Andra Day each took home a Best Actress prize for their performances in "I Care A Lot" and "The United States vs. Billie Holiday," respectively, in the comedy and drama categories.

"Nomadland," "Mank," "The Father," "Promising Young Woman" and "The Trial of the Chicago 7" were up for Best Motion Picture Drama. The winner was the Frances McDormand starrer, "Nomadland," and its director Chlo Zhao became only the second woman to ever win for Best Director of a Motion Picture, making it likely we'll see some nominations for her film at the Oscars, too.

Chadwick Boseman posthumously earned the award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama for "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom," and it's probable the Academy will recognize the late "Black Panther" star at their ceremony as well.

Last month, his wife Taylor Simone Ledward accepted the Golden Globe on his behalf, saying, "He would say something beautiful, something inspiring, something that would amplify that little voice inside us that tells you you can, that tells you to keep going, that calls you back to what you are meant to be doing at this moment in history."
