This year’s awards, which will be held at 8 p.m. ET, Sunday, April 25, airing on ABC, feature more uncertainty than any Oscars in recent memory. With every major studio delaying its releases in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Academy extending awards eligibility to films released in early 2021, and streaming-only titles being granted a one-time exception to a rule dictating that every nominee must have a theatrical release, it would be shocking if the 93rd Academy Awards featured zero surprises.

“It will be like watching a sporting event with no particular team to cheer for,” said Sandro Monetti. The author of “Confessions of a Hollywood Insider,” Monetti has covered the Oscars for the past 10 years and will do so again for BBC Radio 5 Live this Sunday.
