SOUTH ASIAN REPRESENTATION RISING AT THE 2021 OSCARS®
Could there be potential nominations, come March 15, for Brown Hollywood in the major categories?
Actor-producer Priyanka Chopra Jonas (“The White Tiger”) will announce the 93rd Oscars® nominations in all 23 Academy Award® categories along with husband, singer-songwriter, and actor Nick Jonas (“Kingdom”) in a two-part live presentation on Monday, March 15, 5:19 a.m. PDT / 8:19 a.m. EDT / 12:19 p.m. GMT / 8:19 p.m. CST, via global live stream on Oscar.com, Oscars.org, the Academy’s digital platforms — Twitter, YouTube, Facebook — NY and LA Switch pool ports and satellite downlink feed.
Chopra-Jonas’ The White Tiger was tipped as a hot contender to be nominated in the Best Film and Best Actor categories for the 2021 Oscars®, right at the onset of its opening week on Netflix. The film was also produced by fellow South Asians — India-based entrepreneur and producer, Mukul Deora and executive produced by Los Angeles-based executive, Prem Akkaraju (CEO of Oscar® winning VFX company, Weta Digital), and Oscar® nominee Ava DuVernay, to name a few of the prolific names behind the movie.
