L'Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ha diffuso la lista delle 366 pellicole che sono eleggibili come Miglior Film agli Oscar 2021. La cerimonia di consegna degli Oscar quest'anno è fissata per il 25 aprile 2021 e sarà trasmessa live da ABC.
I film eleggibili di questa edizione superano i 344 del 2020. La lista di quest'anno è stata compilata sulla base delle nuove regole implementate a causa dell'emergenza sanitaria che ha causato lo slittamento della cerimonia di alcuni mesi.
Per quest'anno i film eleggibili dovranno debuttare entro il 28 febbraio in un cinema per almeno sette giorni in almeno una delle sei aree metropolitane: Los Angeles County, New York City, la Bay Area, Chicago, Miami e Atlanta. I Drive-in aperti la sera sono considerati alla stregua dei cinema, e tra i titoli elegggibili sono comprese le uscite cinematografiche slittate in streaming, VOD service o altri broadcast in seguito all'emergenza.
