The 93rd Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), honored the best films of 2020 and early 2021. The ceremony took place at Union Station in Los Angeles on April 25, 2021 – two months later than planned – due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cinema. Nominations had been announced on March 15, 2021.[2]

Due to COVID-19-related considerations, the ceremony itself did not take place at Dolby Theatre, and instead took place at a smaller scale in the historic ticket lobby of Los Angeles Union Station. Participants unable to travel to Los Angeles appeared from remote satellite locations, while most of the performances of the nominees for Best Original Song were presented during the pre-show from the rooftop of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.

Nomadland won three awards, the most of the night, including Best Picture.[3] The Father, Judas and the Black Messiah, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Mank, Soul and Sound of Metal won two awards each. Another Round, Colette, If Anything Happens I Love You, Minari, My Octopus Teacher, Promising Young Woman, Tenet, and Two Distant Strangers won one award each.

The ceremony marked the first time since the 78th Academy Awards in 2006 that no film won more than three awards and the first time since the 44th Academy Awards in 1972 – when the show ended with an Academy Honorary Award to Charlie Chaplin – that the ceremony did not end with the award for Best Picture (it ended with Best Actress and Actor).[4]

According to Nielsen estimates (which began in 1974), this ceremony was the least-viewed Academy Awards telecast on record in the United States, with 10.4 million viewers.[1]

Background

The Academy announced in June 2020 that it was postponing the ceremony to April 25, 2021, from its originally scheduled date of February 28, 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, thereby extending the eligibility period for feature films to February 28, 2021. The eligibility criteria had already been modified to account for films originally intended to have a theatrical release but released directly to streaming services instead. It marked the fourth time that the Academy Awards have been postponed, and the first time since the 6th Academy Awards in 1934 that films released in two different calendar years were eligible for awards consideration in the same ceremony.[5]

Best Director winner Chloé Zhao, who is Chinese, became the first woman of color to have won the category and only the second woman after Kathryn Bigelow (who won in 2010 for The Hurt Locker) to be given the award.[8] Zhao's Oscar win was censored in China and blocked on Chinese social media platforms.[9] Best Actor winner Anthony Hopkins, at age 83, became the oldest winner in an acting category.[10] Best Actress winner Frances McDormand became the seventh person to win a third acting Oscar and the second to win Best Actress three times.[11] As a producer of Nomadland, she also became the first actor in history to win an acting Oscar and a Best Picture Oscar on the same night.[12] Best Supporting Actress winner Youn Yuh-jung became the first Korean actor and only the second Asian woman to win in an acting category.[13] Pete Docter became the first person to win three times for Best Animated Feature.[14] With his nominations in Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Song for One Night in Miami..., Leslie Odom Jr. became the fourth consecutive person to earn acting and songwriting nominations for the same film after Mary J. Blige for Mudbound (2017), Lady Gaga for A Star Is Born (2018), and Cynthia Erivo for Harriet (2019).

Governors Awards

The Academy cancelled its annual Governors Awards ceremony due to the COVID-19 pandemic and instead incorporated the winners into the Oscar ceremony, as had been the practice prior to the 82nd Academy Awards.[16] This was the first year of the Governors Awards in which there have not been any official winners of the Academy Honorary Award.

Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award

There were two recipients of the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award:[17]

  • Tyler Perry – for his active engagement with philanthropy and charitable endeavors in recent years, including efforts to address homelessness and economic difficulties faced by members of the African-American community.
  • Motion Picture & Television Fund – for the emotional and financial relief services it offers to members of the entertainment industry.

Ceremony information

The original ticket lobby of Los Angeles Union Station, where the ceremony was held

During its board of governors meeting on April 28, 2020, the Academy voted to consolidate the Best Sound Mixing and Best Sound Editing category into a single Best Sound category (reducing the total number of categories to 23). The Sound branch had raised concerns that the two categories had too much overlap in scope.[21] The rules for Best Original Score were changed to require that a film's score include a minimum of 60% original music, with franchise films and sequels being required to have a minimum of 80% new music.[21] For the first time, preliminary voting for Best International Feature Film was also opened to all voting members of the Academy.[21]

As part of the Academy's environmental initiatives, the distribution of physical and hardcopy items such as screener copies, screenplays, and music CDs would be discontinued after the 93rd Academy Awards. Screeners would be served solely through the members-only "Academy Screening Room" streaming service going forward.[21]

On December 8, 2020, Jesse Collins, Stacey Sher, and Steven Soderbergh were named the producers of the ceremony.[22] Glenn Weiss was slated to direct the ceremony for the sixth consecutive year.[23] Due to COVID-19-related considerations, the main ceremony would take place at Los Angeles Union Station rather than its usual home of the Dolby Theatre.[24][25] Performances of the nominees for Best Original Song would air during the red carpet pre-show rather than during the ceremony itself, with most of them performed from the rooftop terrace of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.[18]

Soderbergh stated that his goal for the ceremony was for it to be produced and directed as if it were a film itself. Production designer David Rockwell explained that the production sought inspiration from the earliest Academy Awards ceremonies, and that they had considered historic Oscars venues such as the Biltmore and Hollywood Roosevelt Hotels before deciding on Union Station. The original ticket lobby of the station would be used as the main location of the ceremony, while its adjacent patios would be used for pre- and post-show activity. Rockwell described the planned set design as constructing "a room within a room".[26][25] Furthermore, the ceremony was filmed at the traditional cinematic frame rate of 24 frames per-second, as opposed to 30, and in a cinematic aspect ratio rather than the standard 16:9 aspect ratio used by most television programming.[27]

For the third consecutive ceremony, there would be no singular host.[28] To reinforce the producers' theme of a ceremony as a film, the Academy announced an "ensemble cast" of 15 presenters on April 12 that would be involved in the ceremony in some way, including Angela Bassett, Halle Berry, Bong Joon Ho, Don Cheadle, Bryan Cranston, Laura Dern, Harrison Ford, Regina King, Marlee Matlin, Rita Moreno, Joaquin Phoenix, Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, Renée Zellweger, and Zendaya. They would include all four of the acting winners from the 92nd ceremony, upholding the long-standing tradition that the acting awards at the Academy Awards be presented by the previous year's winners.[29][30]

The musical director of the ceremony was Questlove, in addition to being the show's in-house DJ. The music for the ceremony was largely remixed from compositions created by his band The Roots, with no in-house orchestra present.[31]

After the ceremony, ABC aired an aftershow entitled Oscars: After Dark, hosted by Colman Domingo and Andrew Rannells.[32]

Best Actor announcement ending

In a break with tradition, the lead acting categories were presented last after the awarding of Best Picture.[33] This led many viewers to believe that the ceremony's producers were anticipating Chadwick Boseman to posthumously win Best Actor, which could have been accompanied by a tribute to the actor. Anthony Hopkins, who was not in attendance, was instead announced as the winner. Joaquin Phoenix, who presented the category, simply stated that the Academy accepts the award on Hopkins' behalf in his absence, and the show ended abruptly.[34] Allegedly, Hopkins had offered to appear via Zoom, as he did not want to travel to the designated location, but was denied by producers.[35] He released a video the following day accepting the award, as well as paying tribute to Boseman.[36] He stated, among other things, that he was "very privileged and honored", while also acknowledging "I really did not expect this".[36]

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Soderbergh revealed that switching the traditional order of awards was planned before the nominations were announced, claiming "actors' speeches tend to be more dramatic than producers' speeches". After the ceremony, Soderbergh defended the decision, believing that the possibility of Boseman's widow accepting the award "would have been such a shattering moment" and "there would be nowhere to go after that". Soderbergh also defended the decision to not allow acceptance speeches via Zoom.[37]

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

Eligibility and scheduling

The COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the American film industry – including interruptions to film production and the nationwide closures of cinemas due to restrictions on commerce and public gatherings – had a major impact on the lead-up to the 93rd ceremony. In particular, the Academy Awards require films to have received a theatrical release in the previous calendar year, in at least one cinema in Los Angeles County for at least seven days with three screenings per-day, in order to be eligible. The Golden Globe Awards had changed its criteria for its 2021 edition to allow films originally scheduled to have a "bona fide theatrical release" in Los Angeles between March 15 and April 30 to be eligible if released direct-to-streaming.[38] In regard to the Oscars, the Academy stated that it was "in the process of evaluating all aspects of this uncertain landscape and what changes may need to be made".[38]

The AMPAS delayed its board of governors meeting to April 28,[39][40] where it voted to temporarily allow films first released via password-protected (covering subscription streaming services) or transactional video on demand services to be eligible for nominations at the 93rd Academy Awards, if they were originally scheduled to have a theatrical release, and are uploaded to AMPAS's online screening service within 60 days of their public release. The previous requirement for a seven-day theatrical release would be reinstated once cinemas have sufficiently resumed operations. To make it easier to render a film eligible, the Academy would allow screenings in Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Miami, New York City, and the San Francisco Bay Area to qualify in addition to Los Angeles.[21][41][42]

There were talks of postponing or even canceling the 93rd ceremony.[43] On June 15, 2020, the Academy announced that the ceremony would be delayed by two months from February 28, 2021, to April 25, and the eligibility periods for feature films would likewise be extended through February 28.[44] In a joint statement, AMPAS president David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson explained that "for over a century, movies have played an important role in comforting, inspiring, and entertaining us during the darkest of times. They certainly have this year. Our hope, in extending the eligibility period and our Awards date, is to provide the flexibility filmmakers need to finish and release their films without being penalized for something beyond anyone's control."[44] The Academy's Governors Awards and Scientific and Technical Awards have been postponed indefinitely.[44] Following the postponement announcement, the British Academy Film Awards also moved from February to April,[44] and the Golden Globe Awards took the Oscars' previous date by moving to February 28.[45]

On October 7, 2020, the Academy issued a clarification of its eligibility criteria, stating that a week of nightly screenings at a drive-in theater within the aforementioned cities would also render films eligible for consideration in the 93rd ceremony.[46]

Production

On December 1, 2020, a representative of the Academy told Variety that an in-person ceremony "will happen", as opposed to a fully remote or hybrid format. A hybrid format was used by the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards, where the host and award presenters were present on-site, but all nominees appeared from remote locations.[47] On March 15, the Academy announced that the ceremony would take place at Los Angeles Union Station in addition to the Dolby Theatre, although exact details over how the ceremony will be split between these venues were not yet announced. All other in-person festivities associated with the Academy Awards had been canceled.[24]

On March 19, 2021, the show's organizers announced that nominees would not be able to attend via video conference. In a letter sent out to all the nominees, the producers have said that they went to "great lengths to provide a safe and enjoyable evening for all of you in person" believing that a "virtual thing will diminish those efforts".[48] However, on March 30, it was announced that additional venues for the ceremony would be established in London and Paris to reduce travel amongst nominees.[49] On April 18, The New York Times reported that a total of 20 remote venues had been confirmed for the ceremony.[50] These included the BFI Southbank in London and the Dolby Cinema in Seoul, the latter of which being where the Academy Award for Best Director was presented by Bong Joon-ho.

In mid-April, the Academy revealed details on safety protocols; audience capacity would be limited to 170 people, with attendees rotated in and out through the show. Attendees were required to take a temperature check upon entry to the venue and take at least three COVID-19 tests in the days leading up to the ceremony. Guests were recommended to be vaccinated for COVID-19, but this was not required. For the purposes of safety protocols, Union Station was treated as a television production location, and attendees were required to wear face masks when not on-camera.[51][52]

Reports of homeless people being forced out of Union Station to accommodate the ceremony caused Los Angeles City Council member Kevin de León to state that "NO unhoused residents are being forced to relocate ... we were able to offer housing options to unhoused residents in the vicinity of Union Station".[53]

Censorship in China and Hong Kong

The ceremony was subject to various forms of censorship in China and its territories.

The ceremony telecast and all online discussion of it was censored in the mainland due to scrutiny over Nomadland director, Chinese-American Chloé Zhao, who reportedly made comments critical of China in a 2013 interview with Filmmaker magazine. The ceremony was pulled by its Chinese rightsholders, and all discussions of the ceremony were censored from Chinese social media and news outlets.[54][55]

In addition, Hong Kong broadcaster TVB announced that the ceremony would not be shown live in the region for the first time since 1969. A TVB spokesperson told AFP that this was a "commercial decision". It was speculated that the decision was in retaliation for the nomination of Do Not Split, a documentary on Hong Kong's pro-democracy protests in 2019, for Best Documentary Short Subject.[56]

Critical reviews

The show received a negative reception from critics. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the show has a 24% approval rating, based on 34 reviews, with an average rating of 4.17/10. The website's consensus read, "The 93rd Oscars definitely delivered something different, but after a strong opening moment with Regina King, the changes to this year's ceremony cemented the importance of certain structural traditions – and how damaging hedging your bets on the Academy's votes can be."[57]

There was further criticism of the ceremony not recognizing movie theaters after the pandemic's impact on cinema, including closures, furloughs and layoffs of employees, and revenue loss; in comparison, the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards included a tribute to live music venues impacted by the pandemic.[58]

The decision to switch the presentation order of Best Picture and Best Actor to make the latter category last was criticized. Many speculated that Best Actor was announced last so as to give an emotional tribute to the deceased Chadwick Boseman, who was the perceived frontrunner for his performance in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. When fellow nominee Anthony Hopkins won for his performance in The Father instead, the ceremony ended abruptly, as Hopkins did not appear.[59] Hopkins reportedly offered to accept via Zoom, but was denied.[60] Many lamented this decision as disrespectful to Boseman and Hopkins, as well as an unnecessary break from tradition.

Viewership

According to Nielsen estimates (which began in 1974), the ceremony was the least-viewed Academy Awards telecast on record in the United States, with 10.4 million viewers.[1] This was down 56% from the previous year's viewership of 23.6 million.[61]

In Memoriam

The annual In Memoriam segment was presented by Angela Bassett. Instead of a performance, a montage was played alongside a version of the Stevie Wonder song "As".[62] The segment was subject to criticism, with some viewers complaining that the montage was edited at an inappropriately fast pace; Disney's executive vice president of unscripted and alternative entertainment Rob Mills acknowledged the complaints and said that the pace of the montage was designed to match the tempo of the song.[63]

The montage included:[64]
