THE OSCAR FIRST-TIMERS
Here are the historymakers that emerged from this year’s nominations
FLEE
This animated documentary about a gay Afghan refugee’s escape to Denmark is the first to be nominated in the Best Documentary, Animated and International Feature categories simultaneously. The film, which was executive-produced by Riz Ahmed, was co-written by its subject, Amin Nawabi (a pseudonym). Having scored multiple awards already, including a Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, could Flee score the hat-trick?
