American architect and designer David Rockwell designed the set for the 2021 Oscars ceremony in Los Angeles.
The awards took place at LA’s Art Deco Union Station, an iconic hollywood venue that has been used as the backdrop for movies such as Blade Runner, The Dark Knight Rises and Pearl Harbor. Rockwell’s design for Steven Soderbergh’s intimate Academy Awards ceremony transformed the venue into ‘an indoor/outdoor supper club’ for nominees and their guests, a design referencing ‘the intimacy and understated elegance of the Academy’s very first ceremonies.’

Los Angeles s Union Station is an architectural gem combining a distinctive Mission Revival exterior with an art decor interior. In normal times, it serves as a grand thoroughfare for more than 100,000 Californians commuting in and out of the city daily. Like most of the metro area s public spaces these days, it also usually serves as a de facto homeless camp.
