(Washington, DC) – The
Black Reel Awards (BRAs) announced today the film nominees for the 21st Annual Black Reel Awards. The winners will be revealed on Sunday, April 11, 2021 from 8-10pm, virtually across several media platforms.
The story of a group of icons and friends who spend an evening together celebrating Cassius Clay’s heavyweight championship victory, One Night in Miami, led a crowded field of contenders receiving 15 nominations. Oscar and Black Reel Award winner Regina King’s debut film came within two nominations of matching Black Panther’s record of 17 nominations. The film received nominations for Outstanding Picture, Outstanding Actor (Kingsley Ben-Adir), Outstanding Supporting Actor (Leslie Odom, Jr. and Aldis Hodge), and Outstanding Screenplay (Kemp Powers). King, who received an Outstanding Director nomination, becomes the first actress honored with a Director nod.
The directorial debut film of Regina King will be competing against Judas and the Black Messiah , which scores 12 nods, for the Outstanding Picture and Outstanding Director categories.

Love has been documented through the arts since the very beginning – through stories of feeling, passionate songs and carefully crafted tales.
Each one sparks a series of emotions and it’s hard not to get a little chocked up when those all time classics are revisited. Sunday is the biggest day of love of the year, but Valentine’s Day 2021 will be a little different given where things stand in the world. Doing some of the normal things with your valentine might not be possible, but never fear because there are options.
This weekend will be filled with opportunities to share that feeling of love with those around you through a livestreamed concert, play readings and a silent film classic on the big screen – with live music. Love will certainly be in the air.
