With production being so far behind on many titles meant to be eligible for the upcoming Academy Awards, it is likely we will see some surprise nominations in the running for this years event. It is currently unknown if the 2021 Oscars will be hosted virtually, or if filmmakers and stars will be invited to attend the ceremony in person come April.
Like in years past, The Academy is also likely to feature an update video or segments regarding the construction and displays that will be found in The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures which will open to the public on Friday April 30, 2021.
