As date approaches for the Oscars 2021 ceremony that is scheduled for April 25, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed its shortlists for the 2021 Oscars in nine categories.&nbsp;

These categories&nbsp;include documentary, international features, original score, original song, makeup and hairstyling, visual effects, and documentary, live-action and animated short.

A massive total of 238 documentary features and 93 international features were contending for just 15 shortlisted names in each of these categories for <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/oscars">Oscars</a> 2021.

The shortlist for original score includes Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who were recognized both for their work on longtime collaborator David Fincher's 1940-set period biopic ‘Mank’ and Pixar's animated ‘Soul’, for which they created music of the ‘Great Before.’&nbsp;
