93RD ACADEMY AWARDS TO AIR SUNDAY NIGHT

Sun 25 April 2021:

The Oscars 2021 live stream is almost here, and it’s going to cap off a truly unprecedented year for the film industry. The movie biz was hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic, with many big movie releases delayed for months or years, productions shut down and the entire theatrical experience usurped by streaming at home.

Millions of movie lovers from all over the world will tune in on Sunday night to watch the 93rd academy Awards ceremony to find out who will snag the top prizes in the filmmaking industry.

The movies’ biggest night will be aired on ABC at 8.00 p.m. ET (00:00 Monday GMT). The glamorous ceremony will again be host-less.

The Oscars 2021 ceremony will be held largely in-person, located primarily at Union Station in Los Angeles, with additional events at the Dolby Theatre. And yes, there will be a red carpet, but unlike the glitzy events of the past. Attendance is restricted to the nominees, their guests and presenters — all of whom will go through multiple rounds of testing and a required quarantine period.

As for the host, the Oscars won’t have one for the third year in a row.

Eight movies were nominated for Best Picture.

They are “The Father,” “Judas and the Black Messiah,” “Mank,” “Minari,” “Nomadland,” “Promising Young Woman,” “Sound of Metal,” and “The Trial of the Chicago 7.”

The South Korean movie “Parasite” made history last year, becoming the first film to bag both trophies for Best International Film and for Best Picture.

This year’s nominees for Best International Film include Tunisia’s “The Man Who Sold His Skin,” Hong Kong’s “Better Days,” Denmark’s “Another Round,” Romania’s “Collective,” and Bosnia’s “Quo Vadis, Aida?”
