I have no idea how Steven Soderbergh and company are going to run this ceremony. Jason Sudeikis and Jeff Daniels at the Golden Globes looking endearingly normal. The Golden Globes were awkwardly fun and I learned that Jeff Daniels has a lot of doors in his house. Yes, there’s dissonance in honoring stories about the sad plight of humankind while dripping in diamonds, but I choose to overlook it.

That job is to transport me to fantasy land. A letter sent to nominees from the producers requested attire that is “a fusion of Inspirational and Aspirational.” I hope that is interpreted as fancy dresses and not t-shirts with Steve Jobs quotes.Īctors, you have one job to do as long as this ceremony is televised. There will be a small live audience of nominees and guests at LA’s Union Station, with some parts of the show taking place at the Dolby Theatre. The 2021 Oscars are on Sunday, April 25 at 8 PM EST, airing on ABC.

What kind of ceremony this 2021 pandemic edition will be, I have no clue. Well, friends, it’s Oscar bingo time again! This, my 13th year of making Oscar bingo, is a weird one.
