No Majesty’s Alternative Oscars 2021

Alternative Oscars Awards 2021 No Majesty

No awards show is infallible, there’s always a mistake to be made, and with a year mired by sickness, elections and all manner of insanity, along with a little delay in the awards themselves, it was somewhat inevitable that some things would get overlooked.

Never fear, the No Majesty Alternative Oscars are here to rectify these wrongs, and provide an alternative.

You know the drill by now: you cannot be nominated for an NMAO if you’ve been nominated for an Oscar already, all other awards don’t count, and all bets are off.
