Other best picture nods went to dementia drama 'The Father, 'Judas and the Black Messiah,' Korean-language drama 'Minari, 'Nomadland', #MeToo revenge tale 'Promising Young Woman' 'Sound of Metal,' and 'The Trial of the Chicago 7'. The Oscars, the highest honors in the movie industry, will be handed out at a ceremony on April 25.
