, the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences has been trying to figure out how to hold the Oscars on April 25th during a pandemic. They finally found a way, and yesterday they sent out a letter to their members. Most of whom will not be able to buy a ticket to the shindig.
That is because Academy President David Rubin said in the letter that was obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, “This year, those attending the awards in person will be nominees, their guest, and presenters.”
The Oscars will also be held at two different locations in Los Angeles, Union Station in DTLA and Dolby Theatre at Hollywood and Highland. I wonder if the winners are going to be at one location and the losers at the other? We will find out soon enough.
There was even more sad news for everyone. The Academy also canceled the “Oscar Nominees Luncheon and such beloved Oscar-week occasions as the International Feature Film nominee cocktail reception, and public programming for the Short Film, Documentary, Animated Feature, International Feature Film and Makeup and Hairstyling categories. I’m sorry to add that this year’s awards also will not include a post-Oscars Governors Ball celebration, or Oscar Night watch parties in London and New York.”
With all of that said, they promise it will be “an Oscars show like none other, to honor the extraordinary movies, memorable performances and achievements in filmmaking of the past year.”
That highly doubt. The nominations are a bunch of movies that no one has seen even though, most of them are available on streaming services for us to view.
Plus, there is no host. They need one to keep the madness sane for the viewer at home.
I have been saying and will continue to say; they should have just canceled this year’s show.
Are you going to watch it?
