The Oscars is happening on April 26 (HKT) this year. Here's what you need to know before the big show
It's Oscars season again. After a delay of almost two months, the highly-anticipated annual ceremony will finally be taking place on April 26 (HKT). While most award shows such as the Emmys and the Golden Globes have gone virtual due to the pandemic, the Oscars chose to remain an in-person event.
However, the attendance will be limited to only the nominees themselves, their guests, and the presenters. To accommodate nominees who cannot fly in for the ceremony, the organisers will be setting up European "hubs" in certain cities such as Paris or London to allow nominees to participate almost in person. They will likely announce more locations in the coming weeks.
