Oscars 2021

The 93rd Academy Awards were hosted in a unique fashion in 2021 as the outbreak of coronavirus has reshaped the traditional ways award ceremonies were hosted. The celebrities were seen observing social distancing at the award ceremony as the world is reeling under the fury of the novel coronavirus.

While having the Oscars this year was quite a historic event in itself, further history was created as Chloé Zhao - the director of ‘Nomadland’ - became the first woman of colour and only the second woman ever to win the Best Director award at the Academy Awards 2021.

Regina King opened the ceremony as the awards were again hostless this year. The presenters took the stage to announce the winners and the evening concluded with Joaquin Phoenix announcing the award for Best Actor. While many rooted for Chadwick Boseman to get honoured, the award was won by Anthony Hopkins for The Father.

The Oscars this year was a historic event at several levels as it boasted the most diverse list of nominees in the history of the Academy Awards; in addition to the traditional venue of Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre, much of the ceremony is taking place at Union Station.

Meanwhile, the categories of Best Sound Mixing and Best Sound Editing were consolidated into a single Best Sound award. Also, there is no host for the award ceremony for the third year running.
