EXCLUSIVE: Deadline has been informed that the upcoming Oscars will not have a single host and that the producers have made offers to the talents they hope will come to present the categories for the 93rd Oscarcast on April 25. The plan is for high-profile presenters to distribute the awards on a rotating basis.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and Oscarcast producers Jesse Collins, Stacey Sher and Steven Soderbergh were stealthy in their preparations for the pandemic-altered celebration, although Deadline said producers would hold most of the show at Union Station. , the downtown Los Angeles railway site chosen because it is cavernous enough to socially distance nominees and their families. The Academy confirmed these plans before announcing the nominees. Deadline also said that Dolby will also be involved, and it is speculated that it will be used for presentations. Remember that Oscar has always been fluid and things can change, but that seems to be the plan. The Academy declined to comment.
Stay tuned.
