Advertisement While many Oscar traditions are not continuing during this year's telecast in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, a new tradition has started with the Academy finally allowing new movie trailers to debut during the telecast, with the first being Steven Spielberg's West Side Story. Disney-owned 20th Century Studios debuted the first look at West Side Story during the first hour of the Oscar telecast on Sunday night, before it debuted online on 20th Century Studios YouTube. The trailer debut comes nine months after star Ansel Elgort was embroiled in controversy after a woman named Gabby claimed the actor sexually assaulted her when she was 17 years old and he was 20.
