This year’s Oscars promise to be an unconventional affair. There’s the ceremony itself, which was pushed back amidst the peak of the pandemic last year, is being produced by Steven Soderbergh, Jesse Collins, and Stacey Sher and will shake things up by filming at Union Station, in addition to the Dolby Theater. And as usual, Soderbergh is bringing a hell of a “cast”.
No host has been announced for the 2021 ceremony, but the producers have lined up an ensemble of all-star presenters, including some of this year’s nominees. Steven Yeun, who’s up for Best Actor for his fantastic work in Minari, was announced as the final cast member in the lineup on Friday, following on the heels of recent additions and fellow nominees Riz Ahmed and Viola Davis the day before. The rest of the presenters are 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.
And then, of course, there are the nominated films themselves. 2020 was an unprecedented year in the film industry and the pandemic made streaming more of a priority than ever, offering a steady home for cinephiles while theaters were shut down. Naturally, that makes for a streaming-heavy year of nominations, and Netflix shattered their previous record of nominated titles, from frontrunners like Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom to surprise noms like Eurovision.
