THE 93RD ACADEMY AWARDS 2021
https://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/2021
NOMADLAND was the big winner (as it had been at the Golden Globes as well). It took home the Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress.
It was a different kind of show this year. It seemed more personal and more real. In many ways it was more intimate than previous shows. I did not miss the big production numbers. They've almost never worked. I did miss the jokes at the beginning. Starting with the screenplay awards provided rather boring speeches -- you'd think screenwriters could write better thankyous. And once they knew that one nominee for Best Actor was going to be a no-show, ending with the Best Actor award instead of Best Pictures was a risky bet. And (unlike a movie script) they lost the bet. Anthony Hopkins won, for THE FATHER. He wasn't there, and that was kind of a downbeat way to end the show.
The Memoriam seemed particularly sad this year.
Jon Batiste, who does such a brilliant job on the Late Show, won the Oscar for the score of SOUL.
All in all, congratulations to the winners!
