That being said, there will still be an in-person celebration—albeit an intimate, COVID —friendly one. With these restrictions, it makes even more sense the Oscars host is nonexistent.
The horror! The awkwardness! Yup, when it comes to the Oscars , host-free is definitely best. Here are some other reasons why:. At least…I hope so. The Oscars opening number and monologue is typically 10 to 15 minutes, and does anyone ever really enjoy it?
In using an outdoor venue like the landmark train station, it appears that the Academy is following the lead of the Grammys—the rare example of a successfully produced pandemic awards show.
According to a chaotic letter sent to nominees from the producers , the plan initially was to have the show happen entirely in person in Los Angeles. There will be specific instructions for those of you traveling in from outside of Los Angeles, and other instructions for those of you who are already based in Los Angeles.
This will all come directly to you from the Academy to ensure you have a safe, carefree evening a glimpse of the future? There will also be a 90 minute-long pre-show hang in Union Stations courtyard for everyone attending. Does that mean that all the guest will be boozed up by the time the cameras roll? That would be fun. Like the Grammys, the guests will be rotated on and off camera so as the main area doesn't get too busy, according to producer Steven Soderbergh.
The whole thing, he maintains, will be like a cocktail party. But the anti-Zoom stance led the leaders to announce on a Zoom call ironic documented by The Hollywood Reporter that they were adding venues in Paris and London following widespread ire given how difficult travel is during the pandemic, even with the CDC recently easing domestic travel restrictions , and the number of international nominees. Still, there is hope that as many people as possible will show up in person.
There are plans for the Academy's hotel and airline partners to cover the cost of travel and quarantine for nominees from outside the US and a "state-of-the-art testing facility" is being constructed just for the show. Nominees and their guests are also going to be considered " essential workers " to facilitate their attendance. The producers are requesting that people dress up for the occasion as they would any other year. So it's unlikely we'll have a Jason Sudeikis in a hoodie moment like we did at the Globes.
Well, the guest will be wearing them during commercial breaks, but not on the telecast. This is because the production is being treated as a film shoot and therefore masks are not required when participants are on camera. The Oscars are taking a different tack than the Golden Globes or Emmys.
For those who do not wish to or are not able to attend in person, there will not be a Zoom component they can rely on. The note also mentions a dress code "formal is totally cool if you want to go there, but casual is really not" and instructions for speeches during the evening "tell a story," "read the room," and "make it personal". Due to backlash from the letter, in particular from Academy members overseas who worry that because of COVID restrictions they won't be able to travel to Los Angeles, the Academy announced March 30 that it would add venues in London and other locations for those members to attend in person.
The easiest way to tune in is on ABC, but the ceremony will also be live-streamed for viewers living in participating markets at abc. Once you've signed in, watch at abc.
The Oscars went without a host the last two years, and the Academy has not announced a host for the ceremony. David Fincher's Mank , about the making of Citizen Kane , is the most nominated film this year, with 10 total nods. Emerald Fennell's Promising Young Woman also received five nods. See the full list of nominations here. Emmy-winning director Glenn Weiss , who has helmed numerous live televised events, including five previous Oscars shows, has been tapped to direct this year's Academy Awards.
We're thrilled to have him as part of the brain trust," said Collins, Sher and Soderbergh in a statement announcing the news. Check out The Awardist podcast for interviews with this year's top contenders for the Oscars and more of Hollywood's biggest awards.
