While the Oscars are usually held at the Dolby Theatre, this year’s ceremony will be hosted in multiple locations due to the coronavirus.
‘In this unique year that has asked so much of so many, the Academy is determined to present an Oscars like none other, while prioritizing the public health and safety of all those who will participate,’ a spokesperson for the Academy told Variety.
‘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 93rd Academy Awards were originally scheduled for Feb. 28 and will now air on April 25.
