It was the most star-studded night of the year! And this time, it truly did take place face to face.
The 2021 Oscars, which was kept in 2 different Los Angeles areas, was produced by director Steven Soderbergh, manufacturer Stacey Sher and star Jesse Collins. And for the 3rd successive year, the awards were distributed without a host, maybe due in part to the debate surrounding the preliminary host choice of Kevin Hart for the 2019 event.
Zoom breakdowns were prevented after manufacturers clearly specified, “There will not be an option to Zoom in for the show.” Instead, audiences experienced heated competitors in between a few of the most popular movies of the year like Mank, Minari, Promising Young Woman and Nomadland—the latter of which got the desired title of Best Picture. Musical efficiencies likewise consisted of Leslie Odom Jr., H.E.R. and more.
In addition to seeing some swoon-worthy style besides Jason Sudeikis‘ tie-dye hoodie, we had another occasion to commemorate: A record 76 elections were provided to women. Promising girls certainly! For the very first time, more than one female director was chosen in the very best director classification—Chloé Zhao (Nomadland), who won the award, and Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman). Previously, just 5 other females had actually been chosen for the honor in the award program’s 93-year history. Zhao is likewise the very first lady to get 4 elections in a single year and the very first woman of Asian descent to be chosen in the very best director classification.
