93rd Academy Awards predictions: And my gut feeling goes to… SECTIONS Last Updated: Apr 16, 2021, 11:50 PM IST Share Synopsis In the acting categories, while old favourites like Anthony Hopkins, Gary Oldman and Viola Davis are in the reckoning, there’s also Andra Day, nominated for her very first film, the Lee Daniels-directed The United States Vs Billie Holiday, and Maria Bakalova nominated for the Jason Woliner-directed Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. Agencies Here are my predictions for this year’s Oscars in the top six categories. The biggest night in Hollywood is just weeks away. On Sunday, April 25 — early morning of Monday, April 26 for Indian viewers — the annual Academy Awards ceremony will be held to commemorate the best of cinema of 2020. Delayed by over two months due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this 93rd edition is being organised at two locations in Los Angeles — the usual venue of Dolby Theatre and at Union Station, the latter being LA’s main railway station and thus a spacious outdoor venue, so as to maintain safety protocols. In March, organisers added London and Paris as additional venues to avoid nominees travelling. Most award ceremonies, including the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, were held virtually this year. But the grand old Oscars is hoping to navigate through the vagaries of the event.
