Oscar 2021, live evening but not only in Los Angeles

(ANSA) - NEW YORK, 11 FEB - The 2021 Oscars will take place live, but not only in Los Angeles: the first details of an unprecedented ceremony in the history of Hollywood have been anticipated by the Academy of Motion Pictures which annually awards the coveted statuettes. For the new format, the Academy looked to the past. In the Fifties, the Oscars were broadcast simultaneously from Los Angeles and New York: the same could happen this year and it could be hypothesized to include other cities outside the US, for example London, Paris and Seoul, given that the membership of the Academy is more and more international. A wider geographic distribution would avoid long journeys - among the eligible candidates, some, such as 82-year-old Anthony Hopkins of "The Father" and 86-year-old SophiaLoren for "Life Before Se" fall into the most risky categories. - and at the same time would allow for greater social distancing.
