The pandemic required an extensive testing regime and the establishment of international hubs.
A new location, socially distanced seating and nominees appearing remotely were just some of the pandemic-inspired elements at the 2021 Oscars.
While some of the 2021 Oscars aired from the awards longtime home, Hollywood s Dolby Theatre, the ceremony largely took place at Los Angeles Union Station, with the set looking like a banquet dinner, with small, separated seating areas and tables.
The team behind the show also took advantage of the natural light from the station s 40-foot windows before the sun set and used localized lighting via small lamps, with lampshades embellished with mini Oscars, on tables in the room. Nominees were shown sitting, with space between them, in dark blue booths in front of small, round tables.

Chloe Zhao’s “Nomadland,” a wistful portrait of itinerant lives on open roads across the American West, won best picture Sunday at the 93rd Academy Awards, where the China-born Zhao also became just the second woman to win best director, and the first woman of color.
The “Nomadland” victory, while widely expected, nevertheless capped the extraordinary rise of Zhao, a lyrical filmmaker whose winning film is just her third, and which with a budget less than $5 million and featuring a cast populated by non-professional actors ranks as one of the most modest-sized movies to win Hollywood’s top honor. Zhao’s next film, Marvel’s “Eternals,” has a budget approximately 40 times that of “Nomadland.” Only Kathryn Bigelow, 11 years ago for “The Hurt Locker,” had previously won best director.

After far too long in the desert, the stars descended from the heavens to bestow glamour and fabulousness on an exhausted world population that didn’t realize how much they missed those very things. Are we being a bit dramatic about the 93rd Academy Awards? Okay, yes. But can you blame us?
No one knew quite what to expect out of this year’s ceremony, what with the promise of a more intimate ceremony set in Los Angeles’ Union Station, the need for social distancing, and the rather uneven style efforts throughout this locked-down awards season. But to our pleasant surprise, the stars must’ve realized we were all hungry for some glamour and some dazzle, because collectively, they came out in some truly unforgettable looks.
