The
Oscars
2021
ceremony
will
reportedly
take
place
in
person
and
will
be
aired
live
from
multiple
locations
in
April
2021.
A
statement
was
released
by
the
organizers
on
Wednesday
(February
10),
stating
that
they
are
"determined
to
present
an
Oscars
like
none
other
while
prioritizing
the
public
health
and
safety
of
all
those
who
will
participate."
A
spokesperson
for
the
Academy
of
Motion
Picture
Arts
and
Sciences
(AMPAS)
added,
"To
create
the
in-person
show
our
global
audience
wants
to
see
while
adapting
to
the
requirements
of
the
pandemic,
the
ceremony
will
broadcast
live
from
multiple
locations,
including
the
landmark
Dolby
Theatre."
The
Dolby
Theatre
which
is
a
3,400-seat
theatre
for
a
live
show
preceded
by
a
red
carpet
packed
with
photographers
and
camera
crews,
has
been
the
venue
for
the
Academy
Awards
Ceremony
for
several
years.
While
hundreds
of
movie
stars
are
expected
each
year,
the
organisers
are
yet
to
reveal
more
details
about
the
show.
The
AMPAS
will
reportedly
soon
announce
the
host
and
more
details
about
the
multi-location
awards
ceremony.
The
2021
Oscar
ceremony
had
been
rescheduled
from
February
28
to
April
25
because
of
the
Coronavirus
pandemic.
In
the
past
few
months,
other
award
shows
had
opted
for
virtual
gatherings
and
pre-recorded
appearances
as
opposed
to
the
usual
celebrations
and
galas.
The
longlist
for
Oscars
2021
has
been
making
the
news
for
weeks.
The
organizers
recently
revealed
the
shortlist
for
nine
categories,
which
also
includes
several
Indian
originals
like
Bittu
and
Black
Sand
in
Short
Film
and
Documentary
categories
respectively.
According
to
reports,
nominations
for
the
2021
Oscars
will
be
announced
on
March
15.
