Are Changes Coming To How Oscar Winners Can Accept Their Awards?

It’s no secret that award shows have been forced to adapt to the new normal of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Oscar show producers Jesse Collins, Stacey Sher, and Steven Soderbergh this morning spelled out how Covid protocols would be integrated into the April 25th broadcast, and assured they are taking every measure to make sure all nominees and participants are safe throughout the three hour ceremony.

Producing the Oscars during a normal year is one of Hollywood’s most thankless jobs. It involves handing out 24 awards, while pleasing nervous nominees in the theater, distracted audiences at home and ratings-weary TV executives.
