Just like other award shows, this year Oscars 2021 will be a little different too because of the COVID-19 restrictions. This time, it won't be like a television show but the award show has a movie-like approach.?
"In a world filled with award shows, what if an award show was actually a movie? Which stars would you cast?" says the first promo.?
It will be a cinematic experience. The presenters at the 2021 Academy Awards are now its "cast".
Who will be the cast? Last year's winners including Joaquin Phoenix, Ren¨¦e Zellweger, Brad Pitt, Bong Joon Ho and Laura Dern among others will award and honour this year's winners.
Regina King, Reese Witherspoon, Don Cheadle, Rita Moreno, Harrison Ford, Bryan Cranston, Marlee Matlin, Angela Bassett, Halle Berry, Zendaya are some other names on the "cast" list. More presenters will be revealed soon.
"In keeping with our awards-show-as-a-movie approach, we've assembled a truly stellar cast of stars," producers Jesse Collins, Stacey Sher and Steven Soderbergh said in a statement.?
"There's so much wattage here, sunglasses may be required."
The Oscars 2021 will be held on April 25, Sunday, at both the Dolby Theatre in Hollywoo and at LA's Union Station, keeping in mind the COVID-19 safety protocols.
