The Academy Awards finished their 93rd Annual Ceremony just a short time ago and while we didn’t watch as it happened, we now present the winners list for you in the rundown you will find below. I watched a short bit of it and it felt very sterile but that is what we are faced with nowadays since nothing is being done in the fashion that so many of us enjoy. There wasn’t an actual host this year and I’d have to say that there wasn’t any real debate about this based on the circumstances. Let’s take a look at the list shall we? I will return at the close with some additional opinion.

The Press Release:
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the ABC Television Network today announced the 93rd Oscars® ceremony will move to Sunday, April 25, 2021, as a result of the global pandemic caused by COVID-19. The show, which will air live on ABC, was originally scheduled for February 28, 2021. Coinciding with the Oscars celebration, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, initially scheduled to open to the public on December 14, 2020, will now open on April 30, 2021, also as a result of the health crisis.

“For over a century, movies have played an important role in comforting, inspiring, and entertaining us during the darkest of times. They certainly have this year. Our hope, in extending the eligibility period and our Awards date, is to provide the flexibility filmmakers need to finish and release their films without being penalized for something beyond anyone’s control,” said Academy President David Rubin and Academy CEO Dawn Hudson. “This coming Oscars and the opening of our new museum will mark an historic moment, gathering movie fans around the world to unite through cinema.”
