CFA Dean Harvey Young: what to expect and who should win the big honors
April 22, 2021 Twitter Facebook
Hollywood’s biggest night of the year is here. Finally. After a two-month pandemic-caused postponement, the 93rd Academy Awards ceremony is this Sunday, April 25, at 8 pm. And happily, it will be in person, not virtual (unlike February’s disastrous Hollywood Foreign Press Golden Globes show).
But this year’s show promises to be unlike any other in history. For starters, it will broadcast from two locations, not one, to accommodate for COVID-19 safety protocols: there will be an intimate ceremony at Los Angeles’ Union Station, along with live elements from the Dolby Theatre, the affair’s traditional setting. And forget bleachers packed with screaming fans. Only presenters, nominees, and their guests will be on hand.
