COVID-19 has complicated everything in our lives, and that includes major events on the entertainment calendar such as awards season. The 2021
Oscars will take a much different form this year than it ever has, as the Academy has just announced it will be held "in multiple locations" on April 25.
A host still needs to be revealed for the event – though it's possible the ceremony, which was initially postponed from Feb. 28 due to the
coronavirus pandemic, could go hostless again. The Dolby Theatre, where it is usually held every year, will be one of several spots that will do the honours during Hollywood's biggest night. The venue typically seats 3,400 people, and that kind of crowd is obviously not possible during the pandemic.
