Are is there anything in the folder uploads already? i would check the nginx logs.

/var/log/nginx/nginx_error.log

have you tried sudo chown -R nginx:nginx /var/www/

There is nothing in the log about file uploads or permissions so its hard to see where your error is coming from.

Although the log does mention that the structure of the files being used is,

/usr/share/nginx/html/

and not

/var/www/
