As always, your criteria is your criteria, but I think it makes sense assuming the official AMPAS eligibility period for 2021 will be March 1-December 31, 2021. There will be a combination of films held back from 2020 along with many that were intended for 2021 as well as some last-minute releases in contention for next year's awards. Anything released in January or February of 2021, most of which were moved to those months only after AMPAS expanded its eligibility period for 2020, could easily get lost in the shuffle.

BEST PICTURE

Da 5 Bloods
Minari
Nomadland
One Night in Miami
The Trial of the Chicago 7


BEST DIRECTOR

Lee Isaac Chung, Minari
Regina King, One Night in Miami
Spike Lee, Da 5 Bloods
Aaron Sorkin, The Trial of the Chicago 7
Chloé Zhao, Nomadland

--Everyone nominated is new except Spike Lee, who won this category two years ago for BlacKkKlansman.

BEST ACTOR

Riz Ahmed, Sound of Metal
Chadwick Boseman, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
Anthony Hopkins, The Father
Delroy Lindo, Da 5 Bloods
Dev Patel, The Personal History of David Copperfield

-- Possibly the toughest category for me this year. All wonderful performances. Boseman's death adds poignancy to his nomination, but I went with the legendary Hopkins doing some of his best work. Hopkins is actually a two-time winner in this category, having won for The Silence of the Lambs and Nixon (with another win in support for Amistad). Ahmed was nominated a few years ago for his supporting role in Nightcrawlers. Patel won in support for Lion.

BEST ACTRESS

Viola Davis, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
Diane Lane, Let Him Go
Frances McDormand, Nomadland
Elizabeth Moss, The Invisible Man
Carey Mulligan, Promising Young Woman

-- Davis won in support for Doubt (2008) and Fences (2016). Lane was nominated for Unfaithful (2002). McDormand won here for Fargo (1996) and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017). Mulligan as nominated for An Education (2009) and in support for Shame (2011).

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR

Chadwick Boseman, Da 5 Bloods
Billy Crystal, Standing Up, Falling Down
Bill Murray, On the Rocks
Leslie Odom, Jr., One Night in Miami
Paul Raci, Sound of Metal

-- I debated whether this would seem too calculated. In my defense, I did very much like Boseman's performance when I saw the film so I'm not merely giving this as a consolation prize. However, I was so strongly moved by Hopkins in The Father that I felt I couldn't resist awarding him in lead over Boseman. His role is what a true supporting part should be, and he gives Da 5 Bloods some its best emotional scenes.
Some will wonder about the choice of nominating Crystal. I think it's his best work in years, and some scenes resonated with me since I was close with someone who had been diagnosed with clinical depression -- something that affects his character's life in the film. Murray was nominated here in support for Get Low and won in lead for Lost in Translation.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS

Candice Bergen, Let Them All Talk
Amanda Seyfried, Mank
Olivia Coleman, The Father
Youn Yuh-Jung, Minari
Helena Zengel, News of the World

-- Coleman was nominated here for The Favourite, though she won the Oscar for lead that year.
