Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

After a two-month delay, the nominations for the 2021 Oscars have finally announced.

The pandemic caused the 93rd Academy Awards to be pushed back, but Hollywood is now reacting to the news.

Husband and wife duo Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas named the films in contention during a live broadcast, which starts at 12.19pm GMT.

Mank leads the way with 10 nominations, including Best Picture, as well as David Fincher for Best Director, Gary Oldman for Best Actor in a Leading Role, and Amanda Seyfried for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. 

British actors have got a significant look-in at this year’s ceremony, too, via Oldman’s nod for Mank as well as nominations for Sound of Metal’s Riz Ahmed, and Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman in The Father.

After winning a Golden Globe for the Mauritanian, Jodie Foster missed out on an Oscar nomination. The last time this happened was in 1976 when Katharine Ross missed out for Voyage of the Damned.
