Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 29th annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar party was held virtually for the first time.
Neil Patrick Harris hosted the streaming soiree, which was filmed primarily at London’s luxury Rosewood Hotel and raised more than $3 million for the AIDS organization.
During the hourlong preshow, Harris introduced musical numbers, welcomed surprise guests and conducted sit-down interviews with co-hosts
Elton John and his husband
David Furnish. Harris addressed the unusual structure of this year’s fete at the beginning of the evening, asking John and Furnish if they had ever imagined they would be virtually hosting the event.
