The Oscars ceremonies will take place next month. However, Steven Soderbergh and other 93rd Oscar producers have now come under fire after saying victory speeches via Zoom are not allowed.
In other words, the winners will need to be physically present at the Los Angeles awards ceremony on April 25, which creates logistical challenges for some nominees. For example, some are in countries that are currently in some form of lockdown or where a travel ban applies.
Quarantine
On top of that, nominated film talent who may show up are normally required to go through a mandatory ten-day quarantine upon arrival in Los Angeles. As a result, hotel costs would be extremely high.
In addition, the productions of the nominees in attendance are also expected to be on hold for weeks, as they will have to be quarantined again upon their return to the country where filming takes place.
Uncertain
Emerald Fennell has no less than one chance to win five Oscars with his film Promising Young Woman, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. The director is currently in London. She hopes to attend the ceremony but is far from certain.
”I would love to be there, but it will depend on different rules. If I am allowed to travel to the United States, I will definitely be there. However, I’m afraid that some rules apply that make it impossible for me …”
Other director
Press director Thomas Vinterberg, who rivals Fennell in the best director category, wants to attend the Oscars, but he’s not sure he can come from Denmark: ”I’m curious what the ceremony will look like and how many nominees will be in attendance. If it can be done legally I will be there”.
