The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has revealed how the 2021 Oscars or 93rd Academy Awards will be presented this April.
In a statement released Wednesday, the Academy said they plan to broadcast the in-person award show, on Sunday, April 25, 2021; from multiple locations. One location includes the famous Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California, where the Academy has hosted the show since 2001.

“To create the in-person show our global audience wants to see, while adapting to the requirements of the pandemic; the ceremony will broadcast live from multiple locations, including the landmark Dolby Theatre,” the statement continued. “We look forward to sharing more details soon.”
In June last year, the Academy announced that the 2021 Oscars, originally scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 28, would instead hold on Sunday, April 25, 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Academy also plans to release the nominations list on March 15, 2021. On Tuesday, they announced the shortlists in nine 2021 Oscars categories, including documentary feature, animated short film; live-action short film and more.
